braced against q stanchion. His eyes
were intent upon her sweet face. He
had no thought for other men,. even
those in similar plight. His gaze,
though unhampered by the high peak
of his forage cap, comprehended moth
ing beyond ths rounded outline of that
soft cheek. Her eyes, well-nigh hidden
by her shrouding "Tam," saw the
searching son of Albion and told her
his need. The best of women will find
excuse for interruption. at such mo-

she longs to hear those very words, will
find means to defer them as a kitten

They were nearing home again. Day
and night for nearly a week the good
ship had borne them steadily onward
over a sea of deepest blue, calm and I'M

1avor IN the eyes OF a young TOURIST
paying his first visit to our shores, and
80 it happened that before the voyage,
all too brief, was half over Amy Law
ence and Armstrong walked the spa
cious deck for hours alone or sat in shell
tered hooks, gazing out upon the sea.
The soft summer breezes of the first
few days had given place to keener,
chillier air. The fog ahead told of the
close proximity of the F%arallones.
Heavier wraps had replaced the soft
fabrics of the Hawaiian saunterings.
But warmth and gladness, coupled with
a strange, new shyness in his presence,
were glowing in her fresh young heart.
One day she had said to him: "You have
not told me how you came to leave there
just now" and it was a moment be-
fore he answered.
THAT was the surgeons doing. They
sent mt back from the front because
the wound did not properly heal, and
then ordered a sea voyage until it did;
but I turn back at once from San Fran

She was silent a few seconds. This
was unleoked-for and unwelcome news.
II thought" she said, "at least Gov.
heard DR.. Frank say it would be four
months before you could use that arm"
She plucked at the fringe of the heavy
shawl he had wrapped about her as she
reclined in the low steamer chair; but
the white lids yelled her eyes.
Possibly" answered Armstrong:
"but, you see, I do not have to use it
much at any time. I'm all right other
wise, and there will soon be need of me-"
more campaigning?" she a~nxiously
inquired, her eyes one moment uplift-
ing.
Probably. Those fellows have no
idea of quitting"
Another interval of silence. The long,
lazy, rolling. swell of the Pacific had
changed during the day to an abrupt
and tumultuous upheaval that tossed
the Doric like a cork and made locomo-
ton q problem. The rising wind and
sea sent the spray whirling from her
bows, and Mildred's young man, cast.
ing about for a dry corner, had depos-
tied his fair charge IN a bench along
the forward deck house and was scout
ing up and down for steamer chairs,

The excitement attending the
war in South Africa has now SUBJ
sided and the citizens of Bartlett

During the time the st. An
thony and Dakota elevator was
burning, two cars used temporarily
for a passenger and freight depot,
that were on an Impoverished switch
were in danger of being burned, as
there was no way of getting them
onto the main track. G. L. Wehe
stood on the top of the cars and
protected them by throwing snow
which was shoveled up to him.

by a one thousand mile ticket.

ager of the Great Northern rail-
way, nephew of J. j. Hill, presi-
dent, and Martin Costello, general
traffic travelling manager, we're in
the city Monday concluding the
purchase of a half section of land,
in the northwest corner of. 1861.
The gentlemen in question did not
say that they bought it for the pur-
pose of making a home for them
selves and cultivating the soil for
the needs Of their families. Our
idea is, that it is bearing the rumor
out which we spoke of in the last
issue. in regard to the extension of
the Aneta branch by way of Bart
lett and Fox Lake, and that the
land in question is for the purpose
of a town site.

Women
Remember
This Fact

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
you N communicating with a woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills is greater than that
of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to q wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles to a man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full we'll that they should have
immediate assistance, but q natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is a positive fact-not a mere
statement. It is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and the
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
whose letIerS, all IN b l1tGle DOCK, MRS.
Pinkham has just published. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
fdence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which. has never
been broken and has induced more
ssdXahenl00, 900 sufferers to write her for
asadViee during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
is one of the cases we refer to-:

like your advice in regard to my case.

that it has helped me much. 1 have
