The Shaking Residents Wanted Every
thing But Quinine-


thing But Quinine-
The colonel suggested that l take
along a package of quinine in my ride
through the swamp country, as the
towns were far apart and the drug be
yond the reach of many settlers AT
nine o'clock in the morning / reached
q cabin, to find the owner and his wife
and three children sitting out in the
sun. All had blue lips and haggard
faces and all were saA ering with
chill. / told the MAJ 1 would leave
him some quinine, and was about to
undo the package when he stopped me
with gesture and said:
Stranger, we amt chillin' fur
shucks, but thar is them beyand us
that ar. Leave me a plug of ter
backer and save yer kee-nine fur wus-
ser cases"
On the doorstep of the next cabin
sat a lone man. He was trying to
scrape the bark off a sassafras root,
but he shook and shivered so hard that
he could make no progress. i told him
had some quinine as a free gift, but
he he'd up his shaking hands and re-
piled:
stranger, this hain't no chillin' to
be cured by kee-nine, but is jist
Nervousness for the want of sip of
whisky. You'll find chillin' further

gave him a sip from my flask, and
at the next cabin found woman and

explained the object of my call she re-
piled:

But haven't you chills and fever?"
"wan, sorter, but nuthin' to brag of.
I reckon the most that ails me is the
want of snuff. If you'll be so kind as
to leave me a pinch or two I'd be
mighty peart in an hour or So"
During the days ride of twenty-five
miles dispensed whisky, snuff, tobac-
co and pipes several times over, but no
quinine. At the last cabin before i
reached Marion found a man stretched
out on the bed and tied fast. His hands
were as cold as ice. his lips as blue as

The patron said ''Yes?" in an iDquir-

The patron nodded.

A shake of the head was the only re-

neck again he asked in business-like

HE WAS EXPERIENCED,
And His Wife Wished to Thank the Girl
Who Broke Him In.

Who Broke Him In.
What wonder that Harold Hustleton
was proud and happy. Had he not won
the heart and hand of the fairest and
loveliest girl in the whole town?
Harold could scarcely believe in his
good luck. And as he sat by her side
and watched the evening star glim-
mering family above the orange flush
which marked where the sun had sunk
behind the hills, he felt moved to ask
her the fourteenth question OF the

of all the men in her wide circle of ac-

future happiness?"

er and handsomer and more athletic
Why had she chosen him?"
''Oh, Harold, you mustn't be too

pushed back the hair from his fore

it was those things which first won me
to you, and have neuer regretted; for

''Oh, my darling, you don't know
how glad am to hear you say so!' he
exclaimed, as he drew her to him and
kissed her tenderly.
Yes, dear, and some day you must
let me meet her and thank her for
