| l tried to warn Rex that this person
of whom he knew but little except that
he was a genius, was dangerous, but
Rex, loving Ethel as he did with a
perfect trustfulness, only laughed at
my fears. 1 gave Nicholi cold looks
and colder words, but still he came.
Ethel thought me rude and prejudiced
and seemed incapable of comprehend
ing my anxiety; yet I felt that he was
gaining more influence over her every
time they met.
So matters rested until one day Mich
oil came alone. He soon sat down to
the piano and, opening a new piece of
music, quickly tried the opening bars,
then suddenly exclaimed:
This is peculiar. My wife would

| too late to drown his words He had
unguardedly revealed a carefully con-
cealed secret and could not recall it.
So he had a wife! Why had he not
told us? We naturally supposed him
to be single and Rex did not know.
| Rex was always too hasty in taking
up with talented strangers he casually
met.
I drew a long breath of relief and
looked at Ethel. She had turned very
pale and 1 feared she would faint. I
pushed my vinagrette under her nose

my heart sang a psalm Of joy, for

that would tester and poison her hap

prediction, for Nicholi never returned.
He dropped out Of our daily life as II
he had never entered it. He evidently
was flattered by Ethel's pleasure in his
company, and had meant to make
conquest of her heart, which he might
break at will. But he understood her
pure nature too we'll to think that she
would ever care for him when she
found he was sacredly bound to an
other. And so he vanished.
For a short time Ethel was restless
and unsettled, but she soon crept CRATE
fully back to the safe refuge Of Rex's
honest love. and he, dear, stupid, trust
ing lover, never knew how near he
came to losing his most cherished
earthly possession.

Ethel, impatiently, you are nervous

That night dreamed that Ethel had
turned into a golden harp, the strings
of which seemed to be made from her
own beautiful sunny hair. Nicholi was
standing before the harp, and as
looked he struck the strings violently
with a tuning-fork, holding it up to
his ear to catch the keynote
The dream distressed me so that I

LOCKJAW AND PERSPIRATION

Lockjaw when caused by a wound
has long been considered incurable. and
it Is only of late years that a few in
stances of successful treatment have
been recorded, the most striking being
those effected by the Indian wooralt
poison and by enormous doses of a1co-
ho1. Two cases are reported in which
all the alarming symptoms were re-
moved by violent perspiration.
The first was that of young man OF
%, who had the misfortune of having
his hand caught in the gearing of a
thrashing machine; part Of the skin
was carried off, but in the course of a
fortnight everything seemed progress
ing toward speedy cure, when one
morning the patient awoke with a
strange rightly in his jaws, violent
pains all over the sternum, intermit-
tent difficulty of breathing and con-
vulsive starts in the lower limbs.
A doctor being called in, he imme-
diately proceeded to throw the patient
into a violent perspiration. For this
purpose he had hoops put under the
bedclothes in order to prevent their
contact with the body, and then got
four deep pots filled with quicklime,
which he slightly moistened with
water.
To prevent the skin from being
scorched each pot was wrapped in linen
and then placed on each side of the
patient. orders being given to the fam
lily to moisten the quicklime from time
to time, and to change it when ex-
hausted. The heat engendered was so
intense that on the first day the bed
clothes caught fire, which, however.
was speedily extinguished.
AS for the perspiration, it was so
immoderate as to pass all belief. On
the fifth day all tetanic symptoms had
| disappeared, except little stiffness in
the jaws; the patient was in a state OF
complete prostration, which was, how
ever, removed by good nourishment,
and few days afterward all traces of
| the dangerous affection had disap-
peared.
The second case was that of a day
laborer, who, when the doctor came.
appeared in a dying state He at first
denied having had any wound, but upon
examination an injury caused by a
hobnail was discovered on one Of his
great toes-a circumstance the patient
had forgotten. The treatment was the
same and attended with the same re-
sult.-London Globe.

WHEAT LOOKING BETTER.
W. B. Giles Thinks There Will Be
Three .Fourths Of Average Crop.

W. b. Giles, one of the men most
competent to Judge Of the wheat con.
ditions in this county, took a drive
Sunday to Chapman and then north
to the uplands and home to Abilene.
He says of the wheat. II was sur.
prised to find that there are so many
fields with a good outlook. saw
many fields that are all right and
where the plant covers the ground so
that the drill rows cannot be seen.
There are some fields that do not look
so well but there are less than |
thought. | estimate that we will
have three-fourths of an average crop
of wheat in this countyif the weather
is favorable from this time on. As
we have an increased acreage that
will give us fair yield for the total.
The farmers have reason to feel well
over the wheat, considering what the
weather has been for the past few
months

Mr.. Howard closed his meat market

he was taking bath in the rear room

Mr.. Howard's bedroom through the

family heard the noise and started for

through the window, making his es-

did not leave his money handy as it
would have been gone.
Attempts were also made to break

AT CANARY ISLANDS.
g. C. Cress Writes Of the Journey To.
ward Southern Seas.

To the Editor OF the Reflector:
Los PALMos. Canary Islands, March
SO.-Our vessel loosed her moorings
and cleared from Southampton at 2
p. m, March 25. In the English
channel we encountered a rough sea
and found myself prostrated in less
than two hours. My wife has proven
good sailor, having suffered very
little since leaving New York. Sun
day, the 26th, we entered the Bay OF
Biscay which was running at right
angles to our vessel with heavy
ground swell. This caused the ship
to pitch like western br. ncho and
added greatly to my nausea. Monday
we hailed the Portuguese coast, high
and rocky for leagues. The swell was
now striking us on the starboard
causing rocking motion in place Of
the pitch, and so extreme was the
swell that furniture and crockery
would 60 crashing to the floor in the
most ridiculous manner, causing US
no little mirth though we were strain.
ing in nausea the next moment.
That night It was found necessary to
pack us into our berths with rolls OF
extra bedding in order to keep us
from changing our position every few
seconds, for somehow this rolling has
tendency to cause you to be trying
the hardness Of your skull against the
side OF your cabin for your footing is
deceptive, like the pavement to the
intoxicated man.
Wednesday we skirted along the
northwest coast Of Morocco. The
climate has rapidly changed and the
effect on our health Is not what might
be desired. Five days Of 800 miles
each landed us at this place, where
passengers. baggage and freight are
landed. While this takes place on
one side, coal and water are slowed
away In our hold to steam us to our
next port, over two thousand miles
further along our track Isl. Helena.)
Thus from port to port we find our
selves transported in safety. We feel
very grateful to our Divine Master for
the many blessings received en- route
and by His strength being made man.
iicst in us, we hope to preach the
gospel to the benighted souls in the
regions beyond, where no herald Of
has yet penetrated.

our work and manner Of evangelizing
the lost tribes can address me at Bu-

BRASS BAND CHARITY.
Populists' Vaunted Flour Giving in
Remarkable Taste.

When it was given out that d.
Matteson's Populist syndicate which
won $275 on the city election would
use that sam for flour for the poor, it
was considered that the act would be
a graceful one. 1t was carried out
today and probably this sensible old
earth never saw just that sort of char.
ity. A wagon was decorated with
flags, big banners were put on the
sides saying Mike Malott's election
benefited the poor, the Abilene band
was called out, then Dave Matteson
drove the wagon around town, calling
the attentionof the whole neighbor-
hood to the necessity Of every family
at whose door, he stopped with osten-
tatious aims, humiliating every re-
cipient as much as possiblet There
are many charitable people in this
town but none before ever made the
- ~
giving of food sach spectacle.
If it was intended to reflect glory
on Mr.. Matteson or to aid in Popu.
list politics it was miserable failure.
The people are apt to remember not
only that it was Republican money
that bought the flour but thai the
blessing Of giving is lost when there
only seif.interest as the motive.
There was way to make the bet
winnings serve a truly charitable
purpose but the managers Of the af-
fair seem to have lost sight of it in
their efforts to subserve political
ends.
