Beware of underdone Bread.

1t is the belief of DR.. Cyrus Edison that
many diseases come from eating UNDERGONE
bread that contains germs which get into
the dough through the hands of bakers or
cooks. Bread raised by pure baking pow

nearest approach to sanitary bread.

was Captain Keogh. one Of Clusters Off.

many desperate brush with the Indians.
At the battle of Little Big Horn. the one
in which Custer and his command was
surrounded and killed, Keogh was shot
early III the fight and fell from Com.

any of the soldiers or even their horses

He was wounded by many bullets and
bleeding profuscly. but he managed to
reach brook, and here he was found
by Major Reno's men some time later.
He was standing in the water, looking
mournfully over tho battle-ground. His
legs were swollen to three times their
normal size. and his sufferings were so
intense that orders were given to shoot
him and end his misery. The orders
were rescinded, however. and every ef.
fort was made to save him. He was
treated with the utmost kindness, and
slowly his wounds healed. He was the
only survivor of the terrible night. After

and sea, and he put up weak hand
and pressed the cool fingers more
closely TO his brow.
"You are better?" she asked softly.
"Yonr horse threw you, and they
brought You here. At first we thought
we fearcd--"
The soft voice broke; she could not
help Ii. She lowered her pale face TO
the arm of her chair and burst into
sobs.
And sudden memory came to him
OF the last time she had so sobbed in
his presence, and his heart grew warm
and tender for tho woman who had
loved him all these years.
Somehow, as he put out his weak
hand and caressed the soft coils of her
hair, The old love grew strong in his
bosom and cried aloud for Vala.
Dear" he said family, ''stay here
beside me! Let none minister TO me
save you, my dearest one!'
She lifted her face, and il was again
the face Of the girl from whom he had
| parted-glad. tremuious, flushed with
a color that made fair as the dawn,
alight with love.
"You want me, Roy?" she whispered.
eagerly-"you care for me still? /
thought you would be glad to have me
set you free. And / would have done
SO, dear-I would have done so had
you wished it,"
And he knew, even as Ina entered
with her light free step. that he did
not wish her to set him free. He was
human, and had been too sanguine in
coming for his bride; but he knew that
it was Vala for whom he had strug-
gled, Vala who had been true 10 him
SO long, for whom he had come SO
far; and let her be changed as she
might outwardly. he realised that the
heart of the girl beat still in the breast
of tho woman.
And SO he drew her down until her
tender face rested near his own.
''You would set me frce2" he whisp-
cred. "Vala. my beloved, if YOU love
me, keep me bound to you; for have
never wished my freedom, and 1 have
come here for my wife"
Ina glanced curiously at the two
faces, the clasped hands, the warm
color in her sisters thin cheeks, and
smiling quietly she glided out.
They look SO very happy, mamma. -
she said to her mother, whom she met
at the door. Come away; it would be
a pity to disturb them"
