about her with superiority, for far below she
would discern the struggling throng of kin

formed links of weeks and coils of months,
and the time came when Egbert, looking
forward with fond anticipation, murmured
to himself "A month from now and Fran

He was seated, as lie spoke his thought,
before the glowing hearth in his grand
fathers great room, watching the flashes
through the curls of smoke, and from them
conjuring views of felicity. 1t was late at
night, and the whole house was silent save
for the vain buffeting of the storm with
out, not vain, indeed, since it intensified
comfort by its contrast. Even as Egbert
spoke, he looked toward tho couch by the
window and seemed to see the gaunt old
man again extending sealed package and
to hear his words, "A month before your
wedding day open 1t, examine the contents
and act.'
When his grandfather had thus spoken,
| Egbert had received the admonition, as he
always had, implicitly. What it meant of
course he did not know, but some good
flowing from that perennial fountain of
beneficence He had scarcely thought of it
since and then only with tender smile, as
one recalls a kindness. But now the room
seemed chill, the fires on the hearthstone
spent and dread shook his heart. Such
Is the frailty of mortal felicity. When

OF the coping stone shall oertopple it.

forth the package He bore it to the drop

wrapper and discovered legal document.

significant. The testator abrogated all 9TH

the Aberdeen Benevolent fraternity, Of
which branch he had been one Of the charter
members.
Once more revery in the great armchair
before the capacious hearth; but, oh, how
faint the glimmer of the sparks, and, oh,
how penetrating the tingle of the blast from
without Egbert never questioned, never
doubted; he comprehended at once what
had been done and he faced his future. Gone

given in the New York Times:
Gum the picture on mat Of bristol

ribbon to be used, about II inches. Fit
a piece of window glass over the mat and

with band of ribbon passed quite

wire attached to the mat and glass
through perforation hangs the picture.

BUSINESS Is GOOD.

Never before in the history of
Baxter Springs has business been
80 good as IL is now. The business
streets of the town are filed with
wagons and teams every day in the
week, the merchants are selling an
enormous amount of goods and
the farmers are finding ready sale
for the products of the farm, and
everybody is feeling better than
they did a year ago. The secret OF
this increased business is plain:
Cherokee county and that part of
the Indian Territory adjacent raised
bigger crops this year than ever be-
fore, and AZ such il not the case in
other localities. the producers are
finding ready sale for their crops at
good prices. The merchants of
Baxter Springs are selling goods
cheaper than ever before and the
farmers come here To buy. They
bring their produce with them.
Big crops and big prices for them
make everybody feel better and
that is why in Baxter Springs bust
ness is good. 1t will continue TO he
