"Did you notice that, Nell? ! did,
too, and was so Interested In the view.
Away up toward Laramie peak l could
see something through the glasses that
looked like a lot OF little ants craw ling
along together. II was just after that
just after we looked through the
glass. that he marched us round to the
other side. The view toward Green

"And now he's telling some In

oppressed the girl, aud, starting up,
she cried:

And jess promised reluctantly TO
come down in ten minutes, IL he didn't
leave; but she hated him, and had
hated him ever since he spoke SO Of
Marshall in the car three days before.
The upper hall had been quite dark
when Miss Folsom went up To inquire
how Mrs. Fletcher was, just after
luncheon. The door TO her little room
was tightly closed. The blinds In all
the other rooms aloft were drawn
against the glare OF the sunshine in
the cloudiess atmosphere, yet now, as
Pappooac stepped suddenly out upon
the landing, she was surprised To see
that the upper noor WAS much lighter
than when she went up half an hour
earlier. The maid had not gone thith-
or from the kitchen, and Mrs. F'lctch-
or wished TO doze. Who, then. could
have opened both blind and door and
let in that flood of light? Impulsiyc-
ly the active girl flew up the winding
stairs 10 the third story, and some one
suddenly withdrew from the balcony
rail, and an instant later, as Miss
Folsom reached the top, all became
dark again Mrs. Flctchcr's door had
unquestiOnably Dccn open, and was
now shut TO. She must have been out
there listening, and gravcly the young
girl asked herself what 10 meant
Mrs. flctchcr's agitation in the H.

at the majur's wagon; her absence
from luncheon on account, as she
pleaded, OF nut desiring TO appear
when company was present; and now,
despite her desire to sleep. her vigil
at the third-noor landing, where she
WAS surely listening To the sounds
from below.
Pondcring over the facts, Elinor
Folsom slowly rctraced her steps and
went downstairs. She reached the IL
brary none too soon. Old Johns eyes
were closed and he was slowly top

Mother AND DAUGHTER.

Charles Keys.

Clarissa, Mimi, April Is Especially.
No family in this vicinity is better
known or more universally respected
than Mr.. Charles Keys, the local School
Teacher, and his estimable wife, and
mother-in-law. For long time, Mrs.
Keys has been in i'll health. Recently,
however, she has found cure for her
ailments in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Il cannot speak too highly of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, or OF what they have done
for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
"My life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. Twas troub-
led with Neuralgia in the head and face
and suffered extreme pain. but thanks
TO Dodd's Kidney Pills, all those aches
and pains have vanished like the morn
ing dew, and 1t now seems that life Is
worth living. 1 consider DoGd's Kid
ney Pills God-send to suffering hu-
manity. They may rightly be named
the Elixir of Youth.
while speaking of my own case and
the wonderful benefit have received,
might also add, that my mother, who
is now an old lady of "A years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, as Is nat
ural with one of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me, she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
"rhis testimony Is given In the hope
that others who may be afflicted ms we
we're, may see and read It, and be bene-
flied by It,"
What Mrs. Keys states In her letter
can be verified by reference 10 any OF
her many friends in this eighborhood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have alrendy n
wonderful reputation In Todd County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

The Iowa statesman has always con
sistently opposed the river and har-
Dor appropriation bills; and rightly,
too, for they always contain point
blank steals from the treasury. Mon
eys are annually appropriated In that
bill for the Improvement of streams
which are, and always win be, useless
for nnyignblc purposes; but the con-
gressmen seek and secure npproprin.

order that public moneys may bc cx-

resent constituencies and states con
tanning nayigablc streams, or con-

crly present their honest interests for
the national welfare. But In order to
get what public spirited and national
pride should cheerfully give they are
obliged to allow all sorts of un-
worthy appropriations to be made.

could hardly curb her impatience. The
mail from Fraync, 20 said Folsom,
would arrive that evening, and then
surely there would be news of Mar
shall. They had slipped awny TO their
rooms after the bountiful luncheon
served on their return. in order, as
Pappoose expressed II. that the gen.
tlcmcn might have their cigars In
peace. Mrs. Fletcher, after seeing that
everything was prepared, had direct
ed the servant TO say TO Mr.. Folsom,
on the return Of the party, that she
would prefer not TO appear, and would
be glad TO keep her room, as she did
not feel IL at all necessary for the
housckeepcr TO meet strangers, and
Folsom felt n sense of relief. IL was
SO much sweeter not to have any pre-
siding genius other than Pappoose,
not that he was forgctful of Mrs.
Fletchcr's merits and services-which
were grcat-but IL was plain TO see
that his daughter would have been
happier had no such Office existed as
that created for this deserving and
destitute widow. At three Miss Fol-
som had gone and tapped at the lady's
door-bcr room was In the third story,
overlooking the street-and was very
civilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher
stood in need OF nothing, but, being
wearicd, she would like n little sleep.
No, she did not even care for q cup Of
tea. Yet Elinor felt confident that
the voice that replied 10 her inquiries
came neither from the bed nor the
lounge, but from the direction of the
front window.
At three the cigars were smoked out
and the host and his guests were In
the library. IL was Folsom's custom,
when n possible thing, TO take n brief
nap after the midday meal, and Elinor
felt sure he would be glad OF the OPP
portunity now. II Burleigh would only
go. but Burleigh wouldn't. In monot-
onous monologuc his voice came float
ing up 10 the second floor, drowsy,
unbroken In its soporifc flow, and the
girls themselves, after the mornings
drive in the clear, bracing air, felt as
though forty winks would be Dicss-
