The Villain Still Pursued Him

One day during the campaign of go,
when the silver forces were having raj
ly in Garrett, some lying Republicans
circulated the report that Rev. Hassard,
pastor of the First Baptist church, had
displayed an anarchist flag at his resi-
dence. The report was proved lie, but
the Republican strikers continued to tell
the lie. Rev. Hassard moved to Blue
Mound and took charge of a church, and
the liars sent the report there, and put
Rev. Hassard to no little trouble, but
his congregation was soon convinced of
the falsity of the report. He finally pur-
chased farm near Kincaid, gave up his
charge at Blue Mound and moved onto
his farm. He continued to preach, how
ever, at Kincaid and Bush City. The
liars still refused to let him alone, and
circulated the flag story about Kincaid.
Rev. Hassard' $ friends finally determined
to run down the lie, and committee
visited Garrett to see about 1t. They
called on one fellow who had said the
flag had been exhibited by Rev. Hassard,
and he could prove it by a hundred
men," but he didn't know anything
about 1.-THE had lust heard of it." Not
one OF the fellows who had been so act
I've in circulating the story could tell
anything about it-they had lust heard
of it." So the committee went home
fully satisfied that the flag story was
simply Republican campaign lie.
There will plenty of such lies peddled
about this year, so be prepared Tor them.

BANKS and Bank Bills.

It appears that banks were in ex-
istence in Rome, Greece, Babylon.
China and other ancient places be-
fore the Christian era. The earliest
records of European banks o in ex-
istence are those Of the Bank OF Ven
Ice. founded ina. D., I'LL; the Bank
OF Barcelona, founded in 1401: the
Bank Of Geneva, founded in 1907. and
the Bank Of Amsterdam. in 1909. Tho
Oldest bank notes OF which there is
any record were issued in China as far
back as 1867 b. C. The Chinese called
It s.hying money" and they were in
form similar to the bank notes Of the
present time: They bore such mot
toes as Produce all you can 7 Spend
with economy" and the like. These
bills bore on the face the penalty for
making limitations OF them.

son and to his sons after him?" she
slowly asked. My dear father has
often told me that he is but the stew
ard of his children's property; as all
he has will Il day be theirs, he owes
1t to them to limit his expenses as
much as possible. Have you no such
realization of a plain duty?"
Gladys stood for a moment as II
petrifed; then her outraged feelings
found vent in a singing reply.
II was not aware that Doctor Blake
ever had q dollar he could honestly
call his own" she said with unmis-
taxable contempt.
Helen turned scarlet. Her anger
seemed almost to SURROGATE her. She
put her hand to her throat. which
throbbed violently. Gladys shrank
from her fierce look, terrified at the
demon she had stirred. But the poor
doctors daughter had learned self
mastery in a trying school, and after
n stormy moment was herself again.
Il thank you for your kind and char
table thought, madam" she said
calmly, and with a bow left the room,
leaving her conqueror to endure what
was worse than the pangs Of defeat
the consciousness that she had not
acted with the generosity which usual
ly characterized her every action.
Standing at the drawing room win
dow half an hour afterward, with her
baby is her arms, Helen saw Gladys
gallop off, followed by a groom in un-
assuming livery. She disapproved of
this groom as she disapproved of the
h~ousekeeper and Gladys own maid.
They were all unnecessary luxuries.
To the debt-haunted doctors daughter
lavish expenditure seemed almost
wicked-the more so that one day the
money which made it possible would
belong by right to her children.
She stood looking discontentedly
into the fair garden. nov rioting in
roses. waiting for Harvey's appear
ance. Every day found her al this
window, ready to greet him with a
smile while he was still at q distance,
and with her baby in her arms, her
beautiful eyes glowing with wifely love
n motherly pride, she made a pic
ture fair enough to justify young
Atherton's infatuation for her. She
was his world, and had been ever since
her slow glance sought and fingered
on him two years before, prematurely
kindling the dormant fires of his ma
ture. From that moment all things in
earth and heaven were as naught to
him when compared with his peerless
Helen.

EYEBROWS AND LAsHEs.'

Long, Sweeping Eyelashes Protect tho
Eye from Dust.
1t Is upon record that great beauties
in ancient days devoted much time to
the care of the eyelash and brow.
Some beauties do so nowadays, but
many a girl who has a pretty eye
could enhance its attractiveness by a
little care. Long, sweeping eyelashes.
have been admired by poets and lovers
from time immemorial and there is
certainly something pretty in the long
eyelash sweeping down on a fair
cheek. Not only does it add to the
expression, but it is a greater safe
guard to the eye from dust and dan
gerous flying particles. II the tips
of the lashes be trimmed occasionally
and a little vaseline or olive oil be put
upon them each night, the growth will
be aided very much. And then about
the eyebrow-how often women are
neglectful about it! Shakespeare tells
us how the lover has writ a "woeful
ballad to his mistress eyebrow" but
lovers in olden days were more appre-
ciative of this feature than they are
today. Eyebrows differ with every in
dividual, but if nature has not been
careful to provide one with those OF
perfect form, much can be done to help
matters. The eyebrow should extend
slightly beyond the orifce Of the eye
at each end. Toward the temple it
should terminate in a mere line and
it should be slightly broader at the
other end. Upon the peculiar arch and
the breadth Of the eyebrow much de-
ponds. Delicate features require a
delicate brow, while a face that is
strong in character requires a holder
one. Never pull hairs out of the brow,
but rather try. by careful brushing,
to train them to grow as they should.
A very little oil may be used on the
eyebrows to stimulate their growth,
but be careful moi to use it often or
it may make them grow bushy.

NY HALF SISTER

E ANA NA ASAA
would g~ood-natured Reggie carry he1
aboutin the old garden and amuse her
and she was very fond Of the tall
handsome young fellow, watching him
with preternaturally large eyes; but
there was no n like Mollie toward
the end, her first love and her last
her very own Mollie!"
is she not beautiful, Joyce?" she
said mi day, as she watched them set
of for a ride, and they turned to- nod
~cheerfully as the tiny. thin hand was
waved from the window. Reggie
loves her very much, but not SO much
as I do. No n in this world can
tell what Mollie has been to me-"
And Joyce, softly stroking the naxen
curls of the owner of Chalfont, thought
OF that scene in the garden the preced-
ing spring, when the over-dressed lit
tie heiress, sitting In the swing, had
spoken SO differently. Truly Mollie
had worked wonders!
Everything have is yours, Mollie,"
the child said with passionate devotion,
one cold, spring afternoon, as the girl
sat rocking her gently to and fro be-
fore the fire. MY heart, my life, ev-
e%rything; but who would have Chal-
font If l died?"
II should, my Kittie."
oh. then that is all right" And
Kate nestled closer into her arms with
q smile of utter contentment. I'VE are
very happy now, Mollie, are we not?
Will you sing mothers lullaby again."
Mrs. Anstruther's face was looking
very grave as she watched the child;
but with the courage that always came
to Mollie in her need, she began softly
to sing the old nursery tune they both
loved. Once Kate stirred and gave a
little sigh; but Mollie went on, though
to ears that heard not, for with that
sigh the little gill had fallen into that
sleep that knows no waking, and gone
home to the Heavenly Father whom.
Mollie had taught her to love.
You must not grieve too much, Mol
lie darling" Reggie said later, when
she had cut of a long, fair curl, and
they had carried the child away and
laid her by her mothers side In the
church yard. Had she lived there are
many things that she must have known
as she grew older, which would have
hurt her. She is spared much suffer-
ing"
And Mollie, remembering her dar-
ling's quick, sensitive spirit, knew 1t
was true. She vas very happy as time
passed; It was impossible not to be
happy with Reggie, and though the
trials of life came to both as the years
rolled on, nothing ever came. between
those two. There are no lives without
trouble; but theirs they bore together,
and tried to bear well, and they
passed, leaving them better and
stronger. 7x,S
But even when children OF her own
lay In her arms, there was always a
cry tender spot in Mollie's heart for
the child who was gone. And as one
spring followed another, and snow
drops, primroses and daffodils came in
their season, the sharp, anxious lit
tie face would rise before her. But II
was eve the face Of my half-sister,
Kate" Leonard Barlowe's daughter.
the heiress OF Chalfont. She had gone
long ago; 1t was the wistful one Of
the little sister who slept the last long
sleep by her mothers side, who had,
given her the whole beautiful love Of
her child's heart.
The End.

CHAPTER I.-(Continued.)

Mollie valued to hear no more; she
was Tying up stairs az fast as her
trembling legs would carry her, her
plan OF action made on the way. There
were only two servants sleeping in the
house that night, their room was right
at the other side; they were doubt
less barricaded In 1t. and would scream
and refuse to let Kate and herself into

She spoke as quietly as she could;
but the poor little girl was out Of bed
- soon as she had finished speaking
and pulling on her clothes in silence
with trembling hands. One look at
Mollie had been enough. Mollie, mean
while. dragged anything she could find
against the door and opened the win

into her things and, tying a shawl
over her head. put her out on the slop-

METHODS LOOKED SHADY
AND NOW CHICAGO PRODUCE DEAL
Err is UNDER ARREST.

CHICAGO, Dec 23.-Bradford Davis
and F. G. Crosby were being sought to-
day by United States officials on charges
of using the mails to obtain fraudulently
poultry, eggs, butter and game to the
estimated value of $4,000. The men did
business for month under the firm name
of Randall, Crosby & Co.
Circulars were scattered throughout
the country by the firm, making offers
above the market price, and the i'm
mense quantity of game, eggs and but
ter which came in response was sold to
dealers in Chicago and other large cities
at prices below the market. Not con-
tent with making these offers to the
producers, the firm desired to employ To-
cal agents, and SIG month and per
cent commission was the offer held out,
though the firm itself was getting only
per cent commission.
Letters inquiring as to the reliability
of the firm caused an investigation to
be made and Inspector Gould, of the
postoffice department, has been at work
for week gathering evidence.
Today he decided that he had enough
to warrant the arrest of the two men,
but he was unable to find Davis. Cros-
by was arrested tonight.
