My Rebel, as Bob now called him,
staid on until week had flown swiftly
by, and one day as we stood by the old
well where l first saw him, he turned to
me slowly, and sort of sudden like, too,
and said:
"'Of course you know why l came.
My word was given and L am here to
Keep 1t. The Confederacy is no more, but

Have you it still?'
Yes, have it, replied, and then
stopped shortly, the old feeling of loneli-
ness stealing over me once more.
And are you willing should redeem
lt?' he queried, his voice dropping to a
whisper.

great sob, but have kept it so long that
IL don't think L can part with it, and
with that my woman's heart could stand
no more, and the sob, before restrained,
refused TO be swallowed a second time,
and then two strong arms were about me
and felt the trials of my young life slip
ping away as that quiet, manly voice
murmured:

ditlon only. Money could not buy it,
but will give it to you in exchange for

How We Grow Old.

The thread that binds us to life is most
frequently severed ere the meridian of
lite is reached, in case of persons who
neglect obvious means to renew falling
strength. Yigor, no less the source of
happiness than the condition of long life,
can be created and perpetuated where it
does not exist. Thousands who have ex-
perienced or are cognizant-including
many physicians of eminence-of the
effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
bear testimony to its wondrous efficacy as
creator of strength in feeble constitu-
tions, and debilitated and shattered sys-
TENS. A steady performance of the bod
lily functions, renewed appetite, flesh and
nightly repose attend the use of this thor
ough and standard renovant. Use no
local tonic represented to be akin to or
resemble it in effects in its place. De-
mand the genuine, which is an acknowl-
edged remedy for indigestion, malaria,
nervousness, constipation, liver and kid
ney complaints and rheumatism.

family group sat round the fire,
And as they gazed their thoughts ran hlghe
And farther of, than their own sphere
Yet to each one all was not clear.
The younger child, the only son,
Had got some chestnuts; and for fun
Put one into the hottest place
And watched with anxious, eager face
To see 1t burn, and when at last
1t burst, across his face there passed
a smile, and then with che riul shout
He cried mime 'sploded then went out"
His mother smiled and wondered how
His life would run, some years from now;
If, like the chestnut II would be
Quite smooth at first, and then to see
A change occur; what did it mean?
crime? death ? ah such a scene
He spared her. Or, why forsooth
II might have meant a golden youth,
And as his life gave promise fair
Our heavenly Father needed there
Just some such youth to swell the throng
Of those who watt His praise along
And fervently revere-such thought
Brought peace that never can be bought,
And as she fondly kissed his brow
She prayed ''God guard my little boy"
The second chila, a girl so sweet
To look upon twas quite treat,
y disposition SO refined
Incapable OF aught unkind,
Whose winning face and kindly mood
Made those who saw them wish all good
Might follow her throughout her life
And happy he who for wife
Possessed her-and as she thought
she pictured what would be her lot
OF suitors two, she scarce could choose,
Which to accept-which to refuse,
The one was elderly, with wealth,
The other young, but blessed with health,
And both professed a love so true
She hardly knew just what to do.
To help her out, why she'd require
Two chestnuts placed there in the fire.
And as she watched, the rich one burned
With spluttering flame, and then ii turned
With angry snap, and vicious crack,
1t jumped clear ont and then grew black
She looked then at the other one,
Which only had but just begun
To burn, tho in a modest way,
And as it burned it gathered sway,
Until it shone a full clear light
And burned as if with all its might,
Until at length its strength was gone
declining gently soon was done.
The maiden never said a word
She fancied that she just had heard
Some good advice, and she resolved
10 choose before she got involved
With flare of riches; well she knew
That she'd possess lover true,
Whose love was wealth, aye and indeed
Who'd richer be in time OF need.
Her mother watched with bated breath
If she chose one she'd rather death
Would choose her, then, Just as she was,
And save her from the cruel claws
OF fitful passion, endless whirl,
No decent life for any girl,
But when she saw what fate decreed,
And that her daughter had agreed
To bide by what it said, she knew
Her dreams and longings had come true
And freely give her THANKS above
To Him the Guide of all true love-

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart OF Teha.na County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12O, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF Interest only for three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipsl is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at SEQ an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
Epond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peciaIly adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
S100 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
| agricultural land at $40 en- acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
| accomplishment.
The primary object OF the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its SET
tlement in smaller quantities and Its devotion
to diligeDt husbandry.
