Surely enough, even as they were all
looking about and commenting on the
strange apparition, it suddenly glared
forth second time, shining full and lus-
trous as an unclouded planet, yet miles
away beyond and above the fringe Of
cottonwoods that wound southeastward
with the little stream Full half min
ute it shone, and then, abruptly as be-
fore, was hidden from sight.
Perry was about starting forward to
join the colonel when little hand was
laid upon his arm.
"Wait; once more you'll see it," she
whispered. "Then take me in to Capt.
Lawrence. Do you see that the doctor
is leavingT"
Without saying word to any one, the
post surgeon had very quietly Withdrawn
from the group on the veranda. He
could not well leave by the front gate
without attracting attention; but he
strolled leisurely into the hall, took up
book that lay on the table, and passed
through the group of officers seated
smoking and chatting there, entered the
sitting room on the south side of the
hall-the side opposite the parlor where
the whist game was in progress-and
there he was lost to sight
A third time the bright light burst
upon the view of the gazers A third
time, sharply and suddenly. it disap-
peared. Then for a moment all was
silence and watchfulness: but it came no
more.
Perry looked questioningly in his COM
panions face. She had turned little
white, and he felt sure that she was
shivering
''Are you cold?' he asked her, gently
"No--not that; but hate mysteries,
after what I've heard, and we haven't
seen that light in ever SO long. Come
here to the corner one moment" And
she led him around to the other flank of
the big wooden, barrack like residence of
the commanding officer,
"Look up there she said. pointing to

roof of the large cottage to the south
''That is the doctors house"
In a few seconds a faint CLEAN seemed
to creep through the Stats. Then the
Stats themselves were thrown wide open,
a white shade was lowered, and, with
the rays behind it growing brighter ev-
cry instant, broad white light shone
forth over the roof of the veranda. An
other moment and footsteps were heard
along the doctors porch. footsteps that
presently approached them along the
grass.
Come" she said, plucking at his
sleeve, ''come away; it is the doctor.
''For what reason?" he answered
''That would seem like hiding. No, Mrs.
Lawrence, let us stay until he comes.
But the doctor passed them with brief
and courteous salutation; spoke of the
beauty of the night and the balm of the
summery air, and went in again by the
main door to the colonel's quarters.
Then Perry turned to his partner:
"Well Mrs. Lawrence, what does it all
mean? Is this part of what you mad to
tell me?"

A Point in Photography.

The amateur photographers greatest
difficulties are in the management of his
light. He learns his lesson pretty thor
oughly, but tries to take a picture in
full sunlight, and as result generally
starts out with failure. IF you notice
photographers studios you will find the
glass roof is always made to slope toward
the north. This means no sun all day,
and is the exact reverse of the fashion
able southern exposure" But the light
from the north is far preferable for pict-
ure making than any other, and land
scape views taken in the morning are in
consequence generally the best. In ar
ranging groups for out of doors pictures
it is often difficult to convince subjects
that a dazzling sunlight is nearly certain
to spoil the effect and produce white

Financial Opportunity.

The undersigned having assumed the
general eastern agency for The sale of the
stock and building lots of the MUNCIE NAT
URAL GAS LAND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY of
Muncie, Indiana, respectfully offers them TO
the public, believing this to be an unpar-
alleled opportunity to make money rapidly
and legitimately on moderate invest
ment-having spent over three weeks at
Muncie and the offices of the company
looking oyer its charming city, its fifty-three
manufactures, and its wonderful natural
gas, which warns and lights the homes of
its 5000 people, propels its factories, lights
its streets and saves its people in fuel and
light alrea iy over 5000 annually. Its
population has doubled in the last few
months and must soon reach $1,000. Hav-
ing thoroughly investigated its affairs and
the standing of its officers to complete salts
faction, the expert prediction is that the
stock which is to-day offered at So per
share will, inside of eighteen months, COM
mand $3.50, and its building lots increase in
value over fourfold. Those who invest
now will get the bottom or ground floor
prices. The man or woman of moderate
means will receive the same consideration
in purchasing one share of stock or one
building lot as the banker or capitalist.
All orders from this section of the country
are passed to the credit of the eastern agent,
whether made through him or the officers
of the company. All correspondence or in
vestments made will be regarded as strictly
confdentidl, and those dealing here direct
may receive advice and suggestions which
they have neither the time or opportunity
to devote to at the general offices of the
company. The subscriber has taken per-
sonally and disposed of to intimate
friends alreddy over S44 900 worth of stock
and building lots, and respectfully invites
correspondence and personal visitation at
his office, where he will be happy to extend
every courtesy he possesses TO inquirers
and customers. Respectfully,

SECRETARY TRACY finished the sale of his
trotting stock last Thursday. Ninety-nine
head brought grand total Of $4,000.
Thus far, during the month of April,
there have been received at the office of the
first assistant postmaster-general over
1000 applications for appointments.
GENERAL FRANZ SEIGEL has resigned his
position as pension agent at New York city.
Before his retirement he learned that the
recent special investigation of the affairs of
his Office had revealed nothing rejecting
upon his integrity.
FROM one hundred to one hundred fifty
fourth-cass postmasters are now being
appointed daily. OF these about one-third
are are to fill existing vacancies, another
third are appointed in the places of post
masters removed for cause and the other
third succeed postmasters who have served
about four years
PRESIDENT HARRISON has refused to
further postpone the application of the
civil service rules to the railway mail serv-
ice. The first postponement, from March l6
to May /, was made because of the inability
of the civil service commission to prepare
eligible lists by the earlier date, but there
was no excuse for any further postponement.
AMONG the appointments made last week
by President Harrison are the following;
William p. Hepburn of Iowa, to be solicitor
of the treasury; William III. Whiteman of
New Mexico, associate justice of the su.
preme court of New Mexico; James f..
Ashley postmaster at Troy, n. Y, vice Ed
ward Dolan, removed; James A. Sexton,
postmaster al Chicago.
SENATOR STEWART of Nevada has had a
long interview with Secretary Window, in
which he tried TO persuade the secretary to
increase his monthly purchase of silver.
This, the Nevada senator argued, was the
best way to reduce the surplus. Secretary
Window could not see just how the surplus
was reduced by giving out greenbacks and
getting silver in return. He will not in
crease the purchase of silver at present.
THE post-oflice department officials have
rescinded an order issued during the last
administration having for its object the dis
couragement of the practice by train men
of carrying special newspaper correspond
ence and other matter on other than mail
trains. There are many small towns
throughout the country which have meager
telegraphic facilities, and to prohibit train
men from carrying to the neigh boring town
or city small packages, containing possibly
information of the highest general impor-
lance, is regarded as unwise and unjust.

We tried to keep them in
the background for awhile
longer, but our artist got hold
of our south window, and his
delicate sense Of arrangement
has told the Parasol story of this
year 50 beautifully that all a0e
have to do is to follow with
words his pictured display.
What is it you want to know,
ladies, on this Parasol question ?
Styles ? Well, there is no
radical change in materials, or
shapes, or size, excepting the
handles, which are longer and
far more elaborate than ever.
The handles are some of them
marvels of twisted and gnarled
sticks of natural woods in every
conceivable form and wildness,
oxydized silver and others of
rare beauty.
1t does not follow, Of course,
that every lady is compelled
to carry these extreme styles
in fact, we foresaw that many
would prefer smaller and more
dainty ones. So we have pro-
vided an abundance of these,
as we'll as the novel styles for
the ultra fashionables.
A glance at our beautiful win
dow display will be a revelation
to you. You will seelonghan
dies of oxydized silver that are
stylish and modest. A lady who
would object to some of the
extreme forms would not OBJ
ject to these oxydized silver
handles, even though they are
of unusual length There are
others in oxydized silver, twisted
in fantastic shapes, that will
find admirers from among the
thousands Of fair ladies who will
hold them proudly during the
coming months of sun and heat.
The celebrated silver house
of the Gorham Manufacturing
Company have designed some
exquisitely beautiful handles,
which we exhibit with great
pleasure to our ladies'. The
mountings do great credit to
the Gorhams, in the fact that
their creations are only to be
found in the leading houses.
Long handles of bamboo
tipped with silver, malacca in
laid with silver, WeteI silver
mounted, carved 6oxwooa and
ebony, each in their way the
most charming exhibit that
ever greeted you at the be-
ginning of a season.

Industries Wanted.

Located as we are in the cendre OF the
richest agricultural country in the world,
with easy communication both by rail and
water, with cheap labor at hand, and the
very best of raw material at home, why
should We not as other town i'm Louisiana
have done, encourage the building of
home industries and manufactures? True
we have not as our own the capital ne
cessary to put in operation all the in
dustries that our resources demand, but
shall we ever get that capital home if
VI 'Jmain inactive?
If we desire to attract capital to our
town we must organize and put our all
together and build up schools, home
stead associations cotton mills, sugar
refineries, Saw mills etc, then capital
will come to us, not before.
Work for your town, speak well Of it,
encourage all kinds of enterprises, it will
always enure TO your benefit. Remem-
ber that you are here to stay, 80 make the
best of your time for you and yours to
come.

encourage such an enterprise and form
Themselves into stock company we are
confident that capital would not be want

Our cotton Oil mill gives employment
to many deserving families, and We are
happy TO say is more than remuneratiye

That Cantankerous Old Woman.

Described in the nursery ballad, who
"lived upon nothing but yictuals and
drink" and yet "wOUld never be quiet"
WIS undoubtedly troubled with chronic
indigestion. Her yictuals, like those Of
many other elderly persons whose diges-
tive powers have become impaired, didn't
agree with her. This was before the era
of lI0stetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one of her numerous friends and rela-
tives would undoubtedly have persuaded
her To try the great specific for dyspep-
sia, constipation and billiousness. This
would have been measure Of self-prO-
lection on their part. for she would soon
have been cured and ceased to disturb
them with her c'amor. The most OLsti
nate cases Of indigestion, with its attend
ant heartburn flatulence constant uIeas-
inesS Of the stomach and of the nerves,
are completely overcome by this sOyer-
eign remedy. Chills and fever and bill
i0us remittent, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are also relieved byit.
