keeper. He drew up in the first bay and
awaited the approach of the sleigh. He
saw that IL contained visitors for HIM

him, had turned round and spoken TO

10 Kenyon, who, although ordinarily the
most polite OF men, did not return the
salutation. He was stricken dumb with
astonishment at seeing who was in the
sleigh. One woman was so bundled up
that not even her noae appeared out
in the cold, but the smiling, rosy face
Of the other needed no introduction to
John Kenyon.

but he checked himself.
Miss Longworth, who had talent
for reading the upspolen thoughts of
John Kenyon, probably did not need to
be told the end of the sentence. "Are
you going to the village?" she asked.
81 was going; 1 am not going now"

companion had emerged for moment
from her wraps and looked at John
but instantly retired among the furs
again with SILVER. She was not SC
young as her companion, aud she con-
sidered this the most frightful climate
ahe had ever encountered.

customed TO the ice, because the ice Of
the river formed the highway by which
he reached Burntpine from the mine.
To supplement the horse, he also got
comfortable little cutter, and with
this turnout he made his frequent jour
neys between the mine and Burntpine
with comfort and speed, wrapped
snugly in buffalo robes.
II London often reverted 10 his mind,
there was another subject that OBJ
truded itself even more frequently. His
increased prosperity had something to

made when his case seemed hopeless,

One day, on clear, sharp, frosty

Of the journey between the mine and

When that necessary operation was
concluded Kenyon sat down and
thought over what young Longworth
had told him. His triumph, after all,
had been short-lived. The choice be-
tween the two scoundrels was so small
that he felt he didn't care which of
them owned the mine. Meditating upon
this disagreeable subject, he suddenly
remembered a request he had asked
Wentworth 20 make to the new owner
of the mine. He wanted no favor from
Melville, so he wrote second letter
contradicting the request made in the
first, and, after posting IL, returned
&c his hotel and went to bed, probably
the most tired man in the city of OF

One of the firms of the county that
is making splendid record for a
large and increasing business is Isaac

has been surprisingly large. In adj
dition to about Is threshing outfits
consisting of engines and separators,
it has sold a large number of reapers,
mowers and headers. Many of these
implements have gone to Oklahoma
but Dickinson county has taken the
major portion. Mr.. Shockey has an

Lands whose work has done much to
increase the large business of the
firm. Both Mr.. Shockey and Mr..
Lands are to be congratulated on
their business record this spring. 1t

How to Get Business.

The Topeka Capital gives the mer-

advice in reference to advertising, and
the advice is as good for Abilene mer-
chants as it is Tor those Of Topeka. In
one place the Capital says: III Tope-
ka merchants allow the papers of
their home city to 60 out three fourths
Of the time with no evidence that they
are doing business at the old stand
while Kansas City merchants keep
their home papers and some Of the
Kansas papers filled with announce

expect the business to go to Kansas
City, and should not complain Of lack
of loyalty on the part of Topekans
who follow the advertisements. The

this tube is inflamed you have a rum.

BARNS MAKE A BLAZE.
Firemen Save Valuable Property BY
Hard Work.

The fire department scored another
victory Thursday afternoon. About ?
o'clock combination of small boy
and cigarette set on fire the barn on
the DR.. Shook property. occupied by
the barrow family. on West Second
street. This barn was destroyed, no
insurance. The fire spread quickly to
the double barn, the west half on the
Parker property occupied by c. ii.
Pattison, and the east half on &. NJ.
Harger's lot. The barn was filled
with hay which was afre before the
department arrived. The boys did
splendid work and literally soaked the
property, saving the barn from des-
truction. though it was about one
third burned. Both houses on the
north were in great danger and would
have been DESTROYED but for the ey-
cellent work. The east half of the
barn was fully insured; the west half
probably not. Contents except hay
were all removed.

BURNS THE WEEDS.
Santa re's New Continuance Is a
Great Success.

The new weed burner of the Santa
Fe with which experiments are being
made went over the line through
Abilene and the result is seen in a
black and desolate lot of vegetation
between tracks. The machine is
built on a fiat car and has a furnace
under the car which consumes crude
petroleum from a tank above. The
blaze is forced down on to the track
and all weeds are destroyed under the
car. 1t is estimated that the cost Of
killing weeds in this manner is but
80 cents per mile. When in opera
ton the burner is moved over the
road little slower than an ordinary
walk and is worked night and day.

TEXAS FEVER NEARBY.
Reported Cases Of TIE Dread Disease
in Saline County.

Reports that Texas fever has caus-
ed the death OF a number of cattle in
Saline county have summoned the
members of the state live stock sani-
tary to that county. The fever orig
mated, SO it is said, with cattle ship
ped into the county this spring. N.
E. Olson shipped between 200 and 800
head of cattle to Council Grove in the
spring and drove them west along
the river to Bridgeport, on the south
line to Saline county, directly north
of Mcpherson. The cattle were then
sold out in small lots. Many of the
cattle driven in have already died and
the disease, which is assumed to be
Texas fever, has caused the death OF a
large number of native cattle in the
neighborhood.

GAMBLING IN FUTURES.
Burton Denounces It In His Address
for Kansas.

J. R. Burton's response for Kansas
in the National Creditmen's conven-
ton at Kansas City was the best
speech of the meeting. He referred
to Kansas City as Kansas, which
caused considerable merriment. He
commented on the Kansas boom and
spoke of the persons who went to
Kansas number of years ago as 'we
boomers" In speaking Of the expan-
sion of credit he said: "When the
boom craze extended to Australia it
struck Melbourne and Sydney. What
did they do9 Sent to Kansas City for
boomers, we furnished them. In 1898
we had a panic. What caused itP
the collapse of the boom in Kansas"
Mr.. Burton gave an intelligent analy-
sis of the credit system and closed
with: Legitimate business is the
highest type of morality; gambling is
the lowest form OF immortality. BY
gambling don't mean merely the faro
bank, but include the gambling in
wheat and stocks"
