AS he said the last words a strange
dignity possessed him for the moment
and there was tone of reverence in
his voice that reminded Deborah
Dombey of other days.
L will tell him and I will pray for
you as WELL" she said gently. Good
bye,' and she extended her hand.
A monetary handclasp after lapse
of nearly forty years, and then Mrs.
Dombey closed the door after the
gray-haired, laundering wreck of the
man she had once loved.
When the Reverend Dombey re-
turned she told him that a sick man
had called and requested his prayers.
What was his nameo:''
Il did not ask him."
The stranger did not call again, but
two days later an unknown man.
was run down by train at cut
two miles out Of town, and badly in
jured.
"Have them bring him here,
Henry" Mrs Dombey said; "it is only
our duty as Christians.
Just like Mrs. Dombey," everyone
said, and nobody wondered.
And so it came about that Deborah's
hands ministered unto her one-time
lover at the last; and her prayers en-
comprised him as he crossed the river.
He never regained consciousness.
Rev. Dombey spoke feelingly over
the remains, little guessing that they
were those of the man who had, I'M
consciously, spoiled much Of his life's
happiness.
After all it was, as Deborah had
said, only an accident of war.

Is Health Worth Ten Cents?

Man suffers many mysterious ailments
from unknown causes, and nine-tenths of
them have their origin in the digestive
canal somewhere. 1t does any person
good to clean out this canal occasionally
in rational way, provided it is not done
in violent manner. Fhe proper cleans
ing and disinfecting preparation is Cas-
carets Candy Cathartic, which are very
gentle but at the same time thoroughly
effective. A Toe box will purify the whole
system and in most cases remove the
cause of i'll health. When feeling bad''
take Cascarets. They will do you good,
and can do you no harm.

An Accident of War.

She laid down the daily paper with
sigh.
Signing was not much in Mrs. Dom
bey's line and the Rev. Mr..
Dombey, who sat in the OPP
posite window of their coy dining
sitting room, looked UP in surprise.
ut looks like war;" she said me-
chanically, gazing steadfastly at the
roof of the house opposite, land
wars an awful thing!"
cit is indeed" asserted the Rev.
Dombey, and then there was silence.
If we could only make you see Mr..
and Mrs. Dombey as they sit here this
fine April morning, as we see them
she so fair, handsome and placid; he
so dark, wiry and nervous-we could
better make you understand why SO
commonplace remark on her part, &C
companied by so very Insignificant
sigh, should have first surprised and
later actually annoyed him.
Mrs. Dombey was a model minister's
wife in that she possessed both mind
and a conscience and used both. Now
such persons are rare. A good many
possess one or the other, and good
many more neither. The Mrs. DOmbey
class is small.
She carefully weighed the matter OF
her duty, first to her family, secondly
to the church; and when once she had
arrived at a conclusion, all the "dear
sisters" in creation could not move
| her.
The Reverend" was quite different
| His sharp, black eyes were continual
ly rolling nervously from side to side
to see if any one was displeased He
dare not call his soul his own; there
was just one thing earthly on which
he reposed-his wife. She was to him
as "the shadow of great rock in a
weary land" Therefore any dis
quiet or uneasiness on her part sOrely
stirred him. Then there was one
thing more, though the good man had
never for a moment acknowledged it
to himself. He was jealous of her.
She knew it, but it no more ruff1ed the
placid surface of her life than did old
Mrs. Gray's plant that the preachers
wife, wore "sech f1ashy bunnits, :
referring to the bunch of violets that
she permitted to rest against her fair
hair, under the brim of her best bon
net.
That Mrs Dombey had an inner Sc
cret chamber in her heart, not one of
her children or a single parishioner
dreamed; but her husband could not
forget that she had had history, as
he mentally termed it, before he met
her, and so this morning, long after
she had gone about her tasks, he sat
musing, trying to exactly recall the
things ''they said' at the time.
Deborah Wilton had been the belle
of the town in which her young life
was passed; and she was barely II
when her troth was plighted to life
long friend some five years her senior.
''They said" that never was there a
handsomer, bettersmated couple; but
his people espoused the cause of the
south: hers the cause of the north,
! when the rebellion broke out, their
homes being in one of the disputed
sections.

words between the elders of the two
families; that finally Debbie's father

The trial OF Frederick S. coburn, who

The examination of Mr.. Hunt was not
finished when the hour for recess arrived
and as Ii was evident that II would not
be complete for long time. he was
withdrawn in order that Postmaster

testify.
Mr.. Willett's evidence was only in ref

MALTREATMENT ALLEGED.
Juliet Herbert Asks Separation
From Her Husband

Juliet Herbert, through her attorney,
Andrew Y. Bradley, yesterday filed suit
for divorce against her husband, James
w. Herbert, alleging maltreatment and
non-support as the grounds.
In her affidavit Mrs Herbert states
that she was married TO the defendant In
this city in January, 1870, and has since
that time conducted herself as a dutiful
and loving wife; that Notwithstanding
this, in October, 1896, Herbert deserted
her and has refused to return and live
with her. On many occasions she says
her husband has inflicted bodily punish
ment, and since their separation has con-
tinually annoyed her.
Mrs. Herbert says that as a result of
her marriage to the defendant, fifteen
children-eight boys and seven girls
have been born to her.
