The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages and that is
atarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitution
al disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Ca, arrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis.
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The pro-

Court.

Lena Ella Herring, alias Herne, will
make another effort to secure the Gus
todoy of her 5-year-old boy who was
stolen from her by her husband, Philip
Herring, who is trying to get divorce
from her. Yesterday Mrs. Herring COM
menced habeas corpus proceedings in
the district court, and in her petition

ber she was awarded the custody of the
boy and that on the second of January
by force and stealth, her husband took
the boy and carried him to Fridley in
Park county, where he is now secreting
him. On January 20 the order of the
court was served on Herring, restrain
ing him from interfering with the child,
but it is alleged he has not yet obeyed
it and still conceals the boy. The court
is asked to order him to produce the
child and turn him over to the mother
The writ has not yet been issued. The
matter was before Judge Clancy sew
eral months ago, and he refused to
grant the mother the custody of the
boy.

Mrs. Wolten started out to make a call,
taking with her her little girl. Without
noticing the child she walked along till
she arrived at the house of her friend
ana was about to enter. when she OBJ
served she was alone. She commenced
calling for the child, but got no an

but the little one was not to be found
After searching some time in vain, the
mother got frightened and went to po-
lice headquarters for assistance. She
was terribly wrought up and could
scarcely tell her story for emotion. All
during the afternoon and early evening
she would go out and look for a while
and then return to police Headquarters,
crying and sObbing franctically. Each
time she would inquire if anything had
been learned and then start out again,
until at last the child was found in
East Broadway, vastly to the mothers
relief.

CHAPTER III.
A SfronrR WAGON

Major Perdue lived in the direction of the
village few miles away and when Buster
John and Sweetest Susan clambered on
Aunt Minervy AIMS OK cart, they shouted
to their grandfather, the Whfte-Haired
Master, that they were going to town and
didn't know when they would return. But
as it happened, they were to return very
soon, for they hadn't gone far before they
met covered wagon, drawn by two large,
fat mules. The driver was a white man
with a very red face and eyes as small and
as restless minks. He had sandy hair
mixed with gray, and he wore faded gray
Uniform. When he saw Aunt Minervy Ann
and the children he began to sing, but, in
spite of the singing, which grew louder as
he came nearer, Buster John and Sweetest
Susan thought they heard a child crying
and sobbing when the two vehicles passed
each other Aunt Minervy Ann was sure
she heard it, and she declared that there
was something wrong about the man; she
could tell by his peculiar appearance.
So she advised the children 10 jump down
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-04-22

and follow the wagon as far as their gate
If no farther. They might find out some
thing and be able to do somebody a good
turn Sweetest Susan didn't see the neces-
sity Of this, but Buster John was keen for
anything that seemed to promise an adven-
ture. He jumped from the cart and ran
back after the wagon, while Sweetest Su-
san followed more leiSurey. She followed
fast enough, however, to catch up with the
covered wagon, which was not going very
rapidly. The wagon was the kind used
by the North Carolina tobacco peddlers. The
| cover was higher ar he asn-is tho, an th.s
middle. The pole stuck out behind, and a
water bucket was fastened to it. A trough
for feeding the mules swinging across
the rear, and this with the jutting pole en-
abled Buster John to climb up and peer
into the wagon, AT first he saw nothing
but a lot of bed clothes piled up on some
bundles of fodder; but presently he heard
sobbing again, and. looking closer, he saw
little child lying on its face in an attitude
of despair
At first Buster John thought of crawl
ing INTO the wagon and asking the child
what allied 1t, but the man who was driv-
ing what in plain view, and, though Bus
ter John was bold enough for small bow
he was cautious, too The child seemed to
be not more than three or four years old
and, as it had on a frock, Buster John
couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a
girl. While he was considering what to
do the child raised its head, saw him and
walled: 80, p'ease tate me out er herer

for he was afraid the man would see him.
Presently the face of the child appeared at
the back part of the wagon. At first It
seemed that the little creature was prepar-
ing to jump out, but either fear overcame
it or the driver reached back and cut it
with his whip for 1t fsl back with a loud
wall of agony, a vail that sounded like the
cry of some wild animal
Sweetest Susan was ready to cry, her

was angry. He ran to the front of the
wagon and yelled at thu man:

Susan. He heard what you said"
The man looked at them with twinkling
eyes. 'Oh, both want to ride WE'LL get in
that's all I've got to say"
Buster John was not to be put down that
way; he very close to home now-in
fact, he could see the tall form of his
grandfather standing on the knoll above
the spring, watching the covered wagon
with curious eyes, for it had been a long
day since one had come along that road
going in that direction. SO Buster John

he caught the man looking at him.
The result of 1t all was that when the
