greatly Interested In his story. He is
now about seventy, tough and gnarled
as n tree, and the mark OF his horribly,

ridged and indented scar, about four
inches across on the top OF his head.
He says he was one OF party OF emil
grants who had taken what was then
known as the Fremont overland trail
for California, and while passing
through Southern Kansas, he and two
other young men left the main party
to ride after some antelopes. They
were Intercepted by Indians, and his
two companions killed. He himself
was shot in the back and fell on his
horse senseless.
"The firing was heard by the other
emigrants, and n rescue party drove

you kissed her goodby when you went
away to your work In the morning?
How do you know that she who has
been your faithful friend and lover all
these years and nursed you through
peevish sickness and done a thousand
things every day for you without so
much as a word of thanks or praise
on your part-how do you know she
does not care for these demonstrations

does it happen except through neglect?

little things that heaven is made, and

Mr.. Hardy hurried down toward the
tenement where Ward Scoville lived,
revolving in his mind as he went along
plans for his future happiness and
comfort.
I'll deed him the place where he
lives and arrange it in some way so
that he won't have to go to the hos
pital or come on the county when his
poor wife is gone. 1t will be the best

week he ever lived Mr.. Hardy reposed
in that implicit belief of his wife in his
sanity.
There was a pause. Then Mr.. Hardy
asked George to bring the Bible. He
then read from Johns gospel that
matchless prayer of Christ in the sew
enteenth chapter, and then kneeling
down he prayed as he had never pray
ed before that in the week allotted him
to live he might know how to bless the
world and serve his Master best And
when he arose and looked about upon
his wife and children it was with the
look of one who has been into the very
presence chamber Of the only living
God. At the same moment, so fast had
the time gone in the excitement, the
clock upon the mautel struck the hour
of midnight. and the first of Robert
uardy's seven days had begun.

Then Robert Hardy thought he fell
upon his face before that awful Face
and begged in bitterest terror for
longer lease of life.
Seven days Why, it will be but
seven swift seconds to redeem my
past! Seven days! 1t will be nothing
in the marking of time! o mighty Pow
er, grant me longer! Seven weeks!
Seven years. And l will live for thee
as never mortal yet lived!'
And Robert Hardy sobbed and held
his arms beseechingly up toward that
most respondent Face. And as he thus
stretched out his arms the Face bent
down toward his, and he thought a
smile of pity cleaned upon it, and he
hoped that more time would be granted
him; and then, rs it came nearer, he
suddenly awokc, and there was his
own wife bending over him, and tear
from her face fell upon his own as she
said:
Robert! Robert"
Mr.. Hardy sat up confused and trem-
bling. Then he clasped his wife to him
and kissed her as he used to do. And
then to her great amazement he related
to her in a low tone the dream he had
just had Mrs. Hardy listened in the
most undisguised establishment. But
what followed filed her heart with
fear.

utmost solemnity, 81 cannot regard
this as dream alone. | have awaken

l am not imaginative or superstitious
in the least. You know l never dream.
And this was something else. l shall
die out of this world q week from to-
night. Are the children here? Call
them in"
Mr.. Hardy spoke in tone of such
calm conviction that Mrs. Hardy was
filed with wonder and fear. She went
to the curtain, and, as we have already
recorded, she called the children into
the other room.
Mr.. Hardy gazed upon his children
with look they had not seen upon his
face for years. Briefly but calmly he
related his experience, emitting the de-

He broke off suddenly, and, sobbing
as only strong man can, he drew his
wife toward him and caressed her,
while Bess crept up and put her arms
about her fathers neck.
The terrible suspicion shot into Mrs.
Hardy's mind that her husband was in
sane. The children were terrified. On
ly Alice seemed to catch the reflection
of her mothers thought. At the same
time Mr.. Hardy seemed to feel the sus-
picion held by them.

Guthrian on Congressman.

''In looking over the situation in the
district since the withdrawal of Mr.
Byers we find that his friends since be-
ing released, having gone to the sup
port of Judge Smith as the logical can
didate of the ninth district. So far as is
developed Mr.. Swan will have the sup
port of Cass county and Mr.. Hager
that of his home county, Adair. From
reliable information at hand, Judge
Smith will receive the support of every
county in his judicial district with tie
exception of Jass and we look for his
nomination TO be made by reclamation
by the congressional convention when

ed the congressman for six years is the
excuse for the western part of the dis
trict this year to take care of their own.
From every stand point we view the
situation we can only come to the con-
clrsion that Judge Smith is to be the
nominee with or without the help of
the republicans of Guthrie county.
The republicans of this county have
run up against the inevitable, and are
confronted with two propositions, they
can go into the fight with a forlorn
hope and die in the ditch, or graceful
ly endorse Judge Smith. To die fight
ing for principle is glorious, but in this
case where no principle is involved il
would be foolish in the extreme. The
convention which meets in this city

into consideration the facts bearing on
this question, and determine it, accord,
ing to what is their best judjment, the
best interests of the party and of the
county, and we confidently leave it in
their hands.-The Guthrian.

\ Correspondents Opinion of Nc
PhersOn.
From the Rad Oak Expressj

Citizens of the Ninth Congressional
district and particularly those living in
Red Oak and Montgomery county, are
prone to take particular pride in their
present Congressman, Hon. Smith Nc
Pherson, and it is only natural that we
should be partial. That we have not
over estimated the position he occupies
is evidenced by the following extract
from private letter to A. r. Tracy, of
this city, from his brother, Frank b.
Tracy, Washington correspondent for
the Boston Transcript:
Speaking of Iowans here reminds
me that there is general legret at Nc
Pherson's resignation, which will come
at the end of the session. It's Always
customary, when any congressman
gets a higher place, to say beautiful
things about him, even if he amounts
to nothing. | am not at all preiudiced
i'll favor of Mcpherson, but, in this case
the Iowa delegation has lost mighty
strong man. The funny thing about it
was that nobody knew it except the
Iowa fellows. / told member of the
postal committee who sits opposite Nc
Pherson, two weeks after it had been
agreed to appoint Mcpherson, and that
was the first he had heard of it.
Few men have made stronger i'm
pressions than Mcpherson. On the Rob-
erts committee he was the chief legal
authority upon whom Chairman Taylor
relied. He made an excellent impress
sion in that committee. composed al
most wholly of eminent lawyers, and
his speech in the House was very we'll
received. In a committee in congress
mans real worth is shown. I have seen
Mcpherson, in the postal committee,
shake the Oratory out of man who was
appearing before it and make him come
down to business. 1t was a rude shock
to the orator, but it saved lots of time.
The business man in congress is the
man who is worth something, and al
though Iowas delegation before Nc
PhersOn's value was known was re-
gardeded as the strongest one in the
house, it has lost, or will have lost, n
good deal by his resignation. I'm not
saying this because he happens to live
in your town, but because it's the
truth. You know l have very little to
do with the congressman from Iowa,
unless they are very big men on some
subject of national Importance; so
what 1 have said of Mcpherson has
been said with the whole congress in
view and while thinking of the hits

Judge Walter I. Smith is PRACTICAL.

Judge Walter I. Smith is practically
nominated now. Audubon county,
convention was held first and instruct
ed for him. Guthrie county selected
its delegates against Hager and it is
understood they are for nth, Adair
did not instruct, although they are fox
Hager if there is a show for him. Cass
held its convention and selected a
Swan delegation with preference for
Smith for second choice. 1t is con-
ceeded Smith will have Pottawattomie,
Montgomery and Harrison, and it is
likely Shelby also. The momentum OF
the Smith movement will no doubt
nominate him on the first ballot, il
indeed ballot is necessary at all.
This is happy outcome. We will
thus be relieved from bad consequences
of close and hard contest. We will
also have nominee satisfactory to a
very large majority of the people.
