buggy selling and one not enjoyed
by any other dealers in this coun-

terms, and their reputation for
selling goods that are exactly
what they recommend them to be,
have made this firm a favorite one

Admitted to Citizenship.

Whit w. Hyden of Davis was a
pleasant caller at the ARDMoREITE
Office this morning. MIR. Hyden
was in excellent good humor and

he entered the office. OF course
we understood it. and he said he
was on his way home from Good

fore the Dawes Commission in re-
gard to his claim for citizenship.
1t may be remembered that the
claim of Mr.. Hyden for Choctaw
citizenship was virtually admitted
by the Dawes Commission when at
this place, yet they had never re-
corded the matter until the recent
meeting at Goodland when his
claim was acknowledged as a legal
one. This decision settles the
question of citizenship of this en-
tire family.

THE first symptoms of insanity"
said the head of one of the big asyl-
ums, ARE generally apparent to spe-
cialist some two or three years before
the sufferer becomes actually insane.
Again, many thousands of people who
die sane are mentally balanced on the
verge of madness all their lives. There
is only wanting some terrible shock to
unhinge their brains.
Now, every specialist has his own
methods of testing the sanity of every
person he meets. You see, so accus-
toned do we become to looking behind
a mans brain, we get q mania for so
doing. One of the commonest methods
is that of giving some sentence gener-
ally full of RS or SIS such as 'roSnd
the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran,
to be repeated, apparently only for a
joke. In reality this is one Of the
surest tests as 10 the condition % a

repeat it without getting hopelessly
muddled. we, if possible, keep our eye
on him "

The door squeaked this time, and the
young wife started in her sleep, awoke,
and half-rose in her bed.
Donaghue, at the same time, heard
the shuttle of feet in the room below.
He paused and listened at the top of
the stairs.
Even though the man had heard the
door squeak he had not left the back
room.
Donaghue tripped down the stairs as
softly as a cat. He had been in tight
fix before, and he was never cleverer
than when he knew that he was in
danger
But luck was against him. There
was fur rug at the foot of the stairs.
The floor beneath was polished He
slipped and fell, and in spite of him
self he uttered an exclamation that was
profane enough to be Enthusiastically
masculine. He heard the man rush
from the library, and how it all hap
pened he hardly knew, but some way
or other he managed to dash into the
dark parlor, to throw open the window,
and jump out.
He expected to fall at least eight or
ten feet. He did not fall two. He had
jumped out on a porch, evidently, for
he could see the railing in the moon
light. There was one thing to do-to
hide directly beneath the window in
the shadow and wait. He knew his
pursuer would be there in a moment.
He knew there would be hue and cry.
Still, there was a chance.
True enough. the man came to the
window-but. to the infinite surprise

She asked for Miss Dorothy Dix, who
pitfalls there. and at last had an audi
ence with her. She told Miss Dix that
she came to Baltimore TO be an army
nurse. Miss Dix looked at her for a
moment, and then said: my dear
child, you are too young and mex
perienced to engage in such work The
awful scenes of suffering and death
would chill your young heart. You had
better take that baby back home"

Mrs. Ewing. I'm old enough; l am a
wife and a mother. Here is my mar
riage certificate and here in my arms
is my baby boy, token of mother
hood, and, furthermore, my dear hus-
band is here, perhaps dying, and I
must nurse him and his comrades who
fell with him."
Miss Dix, however. was memorable
and refused to allow Mrs. Ewing to add
her name to the roll of army nurses.
She left Miss Dix with heavy heart
and again sought DR.. Quick, her old
physician at home, and through him
she met DR.. George Rex, the surgeon

She told her story to him, and after
listening to her he said that such de-

of nurses and entered on her duties

but in vain, for she told him that she

his duty as a soldier. 1t was beauti-
full June day when he left his little
home and the baby that he had scarce
ly seen, and the young wife watched
him from her bedroom window until
she could see him no more, and then
wept. The days wore on and autumn
came, and with it some of the hard
fought and bloody battles of the war.
She heard from him almost weekly un-
til the following spring of '62, when
the missives of love ceased to reach the
little home in Phoenixville, where Mrs.
Ewing resided with her parents.
The young wife's solicitude for her
husband began to tell on her happiness
and health, and at last, early in July,
flowing when she received word from
Captain Dobson that her husband had
been badly wounded at the battle of
Malvern Hill, June 80 taken prisoner
and carried off to Libby Prison. This
was too much for her She felt that

But she turned a deaf ear to them
all, and with her baby boy in her arms
she started for Baltimore in the hope
that she might be able to make her
way through the rebel lines to Rich

she learned from Dr.. Lavington Quick

thought, and husbands away on the

morning, and when he does come home
he'll probably be drunk. That's what

He turned the knob of the door and
opened it the fraction of an inch. His
small eyes glistened in the dark as he
found that the door was not locked and
that in all probability it would not
squeak.
"The easiest thing I've struck in my
twenty years experience" said Don

was noteworthy only because Don

THE BURGLAR.


Donaghue knelt at the door and put
practiced ear to the keyhole There
was faint sound of breathing, so still
that Donaghue pressed his rough ear
still closer to the brassy aperture in
the door and listened even more intent
ly. His small eyes glistened in the dark
hallway like the eyes of a cat Che had
been nicknamed "The Cat" for this
very POPULARITY, but there was no one
In the house to see those glistening
eyes save the servants, fast asleep two
stories above, and the occupants of this
one room. He had watched that house
three preceding days and nights. He
knew that it was occupied by a young
man and his wife-evidently newly
married and beyond doubt rich He
knew that the servants were a cook,
two maids, and a butler, and he had
almost worked out in his mind just
where the pretty wife placed her jew
elry when she went to bed in the sec
ond-f1oor room, and just what means
the husband took to secure his proba-
bly, well-flled purse.
Donaghue was patience personified
and he received the reward that all
patience deserves. His thin face broad
ened into smile as he realized the fact
that the breathing was that of a WON
an, and that she was alone.
When one is in the habit of makinf
