surprised to see that it commanded an
extensive view of the slope below the
eminence on which the house stood,
even beyond his furthest line of pick

distance. OF that he would satisfy him.
self hereafter. But for the present he
could not resist the strong impression
that this fateful and extraordinary
blossom, carried by Miss Faulkner and
the mulatto, and SO strikingly "in evil
dence" at the window, was in some
way a signal. Obeying an impulse
which he was conscious had a half
superstitious foundation, he carefully
lifted the vase from its position before
the window and placed it on side table.
Then he cautiously slipped from the
room.
But he could not as easily shake of
the perplexity which the occurrence
had caused, although he was satisfied
that il was fraught with no military
or strategic danger to his command,
and that the unknown spy had OBJ
tanned no information whatever. But
he was forced to admit to himself that
he was more concerned in his attempts
to justify the conduct of Miss Faulkner
with this later revelation. Ii was quite
possible that the dispatch box had been
purloined by some one else during her
absence from the house-as the pres
cnce of the mulatto servant in his room
would have been less suspicious than
hers. There was geally little evidence
TO connect Miss Faulkner with the ac-
tual outrage-rath"r might not the real
spy have taken advantage of her visit
here to throw suspicion upon her? He
remembered her singular manner-the
strange inconsistency with which she
mad forced this flower upon him. She
would hardly have done so had she been
conscious of it having so serious an
import. Yet what was the secret of her
manifest agitation? a sudden inspira-
ton flashed across his mind; a smile
came upon his lips. She was in love!

He Expects Splendid Results From
Free Silver-A Trip of
Observation.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a local paper
has an interview with Rev. DIR. T. De-
Witt Talmage in which the great di-
vine is quoted as saying:
"If the silver people win, I believe
there will be such a revival of bust
ness, such a booming in industries,
which are now inactive, and such q
general shaking up of commercial in
terests tina: the country will be sure to
prosper"
These words were spoken by DIR,
Talmage at East Hampton, L. l., after
a long tour of the Southern States.
The reverend gentleman is a keen
observer and can see which way the
wind blows as quickly and with as
much certainty as the shrewdest OF
politicians. He does not only preach
to the people, but he mingles with
them, feeling the popular pulse and
searching the hearts of his country
men.
DR.. Talmage arrived at East Hamp-
ton from Chautauqua, where he had
attended an educational convention.
Not only in the big cities did the doc
tor mingle with the residents, but in
remote and sparsely populated dis
tricts and in minor townships and viii
lagos.

Paine's celery compound has put an
end to an enormous amount of sick
ness and disease.
1t began at the very outset of it's
splendid r to cure men and
women of kidney troubles, liver COM
plant and nervous exhaustion. Its
speedy and lasting cures of all these
nerve and blood disorders were not
slow in spreading its reputation
through every State in the country.
Physicians everywhere greeted the
remedy as the most enlightened,
most skiIlfui means that could be en-
ployed for invigorating the "run-
down" system.
Thousands of wholly disinterested
men and women saw their neighbors
and townspeople made well by Paine's
celery compound.
This epoch-making discovery in
medicines, due to the patience, thor
oughness and zeal of the great Dart
mouth College scientist, stands to-
day unquestioned IS the greatest
brain and nerve strsngthener and re-
storer the world possesses.

From no class of men has Paine's
celery compound received more un-
stinted praise for its wonderful pow
ers of making the sick to be well
again than from ministers of the gos-
pei in every denomination.
Rev. Father Ouellet, Rev. DIR. Meek,
the editor of the "Central Methodist %
Rev. DIR. Baird, Rev. W. j. White, D.
D., of the Georgia Baptist, are among
the clergymen who have gratefully
published, that their experience
might be of benefit to others, the
ever true story of how this greatest
of all remedies make people well,
building up the shattered nerves, en-
riching the thin blood and roofing out
disease.
Rev. Charles L.. Thompson, D. D.,
pastor of the Madison Avenue Pres
byterian church in New York city, is
a man crowned with honor. Before
going to the celebrated church where
he now breaches in New York he
served in prominent pulpits in Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Pittsburg and Kan
a City. He has written much and
well on themes of public interest,
presided over the Centennial General
Assembly in Philadelphia, and has
Mexico weekly ledger., 1896-08-13

been often a commissioner and chair
man of leading committees, and an
exceptionally forcible debater in all
the church courts.
His large charity has made him a
| welcome representative of his church
to other churches and to his brethren
of other lands.
DIR. Thompson is a prodigious work
er. He is one of the many thousands
who have discovered what Paine's
celery compound does for those who
are worn out by labor, who r suf-
fering from some stage of nervous
exhaustion, and who require a health
giving remedy that will speedily re-
plenish the system with proper nutri-
ment.
Writing from New York on June %,
DIR. Thompson said:

Gov. Boies on the Situation.

Wallace Bassford met Ex-Governor
Horace Boies on a Chicago Great
Western train near Des Moines last
Friday afternoon. The Governor was
on his way to Des Moines, where he
was slated to introduce Mr.. Bryan to
an immense audience IN the evening.
The benevolent looking old ex-
Governor expressed himself as de-
lighted with the outlook for Democrats
this fall. He said in Iowa Mr.. Bryan
and free silver are growing upon the
people very rapidly.
He said: 81 know of many Republi-
cans in my home county of Black
Hawk who have left their party. Some
of the so-called sound money Demo
Gratis will vote for Mckinley, but they
are few. I firmly believe that the
Republican converts will greatly out
number the disaffected Democrats and,
in addition to this, we will get the

DO You think OF the general ~result2o
"Mr. Bryan's election is as nearly
certain as anything can be three
months in advance" Speaking of
Missouri, he said: "From all
that / can earn / believe that Mis-
souri, will give the Democratic
ticket 100000 plurality. / have a very
kindly feeling for the people of Mis-
souri,. ! have always thought that
they have given me generous treat
msnt and fair criticism, and I feel
neighboriy toward them"
He thought a third ticket would take
more votes from Mckinley than from
Bryan. Mr.. Bassford at once tele-
graphed an interview with Mr.. Boies
to the st. Louis Republic.

speaking of the splendid advantages
offered by Westminster College, says:
"R. M. White, editor of the Mexico

which guarantees q live, progressive
faculty and up-to-date work in the

While R. M. White is president of
the Alumni Association of Westmin-
ster College and q member Of the
board of that institution, he is not
president. Judge John A. Hockaday,
Of Fulton, is president of the board,
and 10 better man can be selected for
that most important position.

ity was astounding. The sentiment
down South is universally for the
white metal. Bryan and Sewall will get
a large vote from that section of the
country"
DIR. Talmage is too little or too much
of a politician to come out f1atfooted
for free silver, but his ~utterances are
perhaps sufficiently significant to show
the tendency of his personal feelings.
"My associations and trainings and
my political affiliations of the past
place me on the side of a single stand
ard" he cautiously said, and then, as
a twinkle came into his eye, he added:
"But / certainly believe that instead
of disaster and ruin following in the
wake of the silver movement, the OPP
posite will be the result.
81 am not advocating that side of
the political question: said the d.
plomatic divine, "but / do not believe,

friends, that in the success of that

There are honest, Christian, patriotic
men on both sides, and the life of the
country and welfare of its interests

in the right direction. I have great
faith in the people of this country and
it is a fact that the people of a vast
Southern and Western tract are We
