over her silver-rimmcd spectaclcs.

continued, excitcdly.
That's So" said Mrs. Sampson, the
dressmaker, breaking her thread with
the force of her conviction. "IIc hain't
one o them shiftless kind that breaches
fur pork m taller candles. but jest sets
up fur his pay in money like any body
else, and gets it, tcw."
But l detcst the man, mother" said
the slender, dari1-eyed girl, whose brow
wore anxious lines, but whose clear,
brave eyes shonc with determined
light which BODIED i'll for the success of
her mothers plans
II have told you over and over again
that would never marry him. Still,
If it will be any satisfaction to you, l
will try on the dress"
You're tallin' nonsense, Dclphiny.
You know cz we'll cz ! dew tibet the
wcddin day ez fixed fur day after tew-

Miss Sampson brought me word by
way of Seth Perkins. The 'cadcmy

up fore your folks, N when lay my
self cout for your own good, m will

ut wouldn't make any difference: if
] had never seen Tom, mother, nothing
would induce me to marry Elder Tay-
Tor il there wasn't another man in the
world"
And Delphine hastily removed the
stonc-colored silk gown which had
been chosen by the united heads OF her
mother and three nunts as suitable for
preachers bride, and left the room.
''Oh, why doesn't Tom Gomez" she
said, half aloud. ''IIe must have rot
my letter in time. or can it be that he
wasn't at home when the letter reached
Stanford? will not believe that he is
the faithless villain which mother and
the rest OF the family declare him TO
be. What shall do?"
Delphinc stared about her in DESPAIR
and suddenly her eyes were fixed on a
huge brass kettle that was suspended
from the rafters overhead What a
grand hiding place that would be!
Rather cranpcd, but she was a tiny
person, and it would hold her, she was
sure.
Tom would get her letter and must
come in twentyiour hours. She could
see from her lofty perch the first mo-
mcnt the stage came in sight. She
blessed her grandmother for having
left this precious gift, only used once IL
year for making apple butter
She climbed MP on n great wooden
bench and thence to the kettle TO try

potatoes.
"Barbary, wish you'd run upstairs
n call Delphiny; she'd orter know
enough to git up without bcin' called
this mornin', but l hain't heard nothin'
of her yit."
Barbary made Il sign which meant

Shes up already" she reported, re-
turning in Il few moments. "Pcrhaps
she came down the front way N ez a.
ciearn' up the settin'-room, as 'twasn't
put ter rights last night"
"Delphiny!' called Mrs. Long, Justify.
'Dclphiny, where are you? 1 warnt
you to get breakfast"
But there was no response, and after
repeated searching and calling the lady
finally decided that her daughter must
have run over "tcw Carolinc's tew get
the snow-drop table cover" which she
promised to lend her for the important
occasion SO near at hand.
Barbary, still stationed under the
brass kettle, shifted loudly.
Dclphinc heard it and uuallcd with
fear, for Barbary never shifted without
meaning. She gave uttcrance to vol,
uines in this peculiar, rasping, uncouth
sound. Even her mother WINGED be-
fore it, and Seth, n lover, who hoped
and despaired by turns, was driven to
the verge of suicide when it was di-
rected toward himself. Could it be
possible that those sharp eyes had dis
covered her hiding place?
Mrs. Long whisllcd into the kitchen,
slamming the door after her. Barbary
turned toward Seth, who was listlcssly
preparing food for sick COW, and
slowly. carefully opened her mouth

dignity and place her chair so that she
should be seated with her back square
ly to the offender.
Whats the elder a-goin' t. dew?"
questioned Aunt Jane, after this very
emphatic pause.
Delphine strained her ears to hear
the reply to this direct question. It
was just what she wished to inquire
herself.

Has the Water Anything to Do with
1t?
The JOURNAL has interviewed three
physicians.
One thinks the cause is meteorological
al, but cannot or will not explain why
it seems peculiar to this region.
The second agrees with the first and
adds that "there are some diseases in
digenous to mountains"
The third does what the others prob
ably did not like to do. He combines
a number of weak conditions which,
peculiar to age, habits, etc, make GER.
tain individuals salient objects of
attack. 1t is the Office of all diseases
to assail the citadel of life where the
vital forces run lowest.
All agree that the disease is not con-
tagious, and that the water can hard
ly be responsible.
The unscientific investigation of the
matter is as follows:
OOSLut couuSOu lids enumerated Tue
fatal cases in town and vicinity and
can find them only in families where
spring, we'll or new water is used.
AT his instance, also, Moses w. kel-
Ter. manager of the old system, review
ed his list Of over 200 patrons and in
no instance has there been fatal case
of the disease.
1t is understood, however. that
other physicians regard the disease as
contagious, and, for some reason, ad-
wee has been given to people to re-
move their families.
The people now have the facts as
they have been carefully gathered and
briefly stated
They can judge for themselves.
Meanwhile, sanitation of the most
stringent order is demanded-if not
by the authorities, by the imperious
dictates Of health.
