POSSESSED A LARGE SUN OF MONEY

The body OF James u. Hay, secretary
OF the Pacific Lumber company, at
Salt Lake City, Utah, was found buried
IN u shallow trench alongside the Rio
GraDdc tracks near Sixth and
South streets.
Last Monday Hay called at the home
OF Peter Mortensen, n contractor living
Mt 2"i0 Walnut avenue, and collected
$500 which Mortcnsen owed the Pa
cihc Lumber company, and which late
in the afternoon Hay had refused TO
accept, not caring To leave that amount
in the Office safe over night. lie gave
n receipt to Mortensen and left, saying
that he was taking the money to Man.
agcr q. Il. Romney of the lumber com
pany.
Since that time nothing had been
seen or heard of Hay until recently,
when his body was found. The money
was gone and in the back of Mays
head was n great jagged wonnd.
1t Is the theory of the police that
some II saw Hay receive the money
from Mortcnson, followed him when
he left the house and murdered him
and buried the body in the hastily dug
trench.
Hay was thirty-one years of age,
prominent in Mormon church work
n implicitly trusted by his employers
lie came to Salt Lake from Australia
several years ago.
Peter Mortcnson, the contractor
who paid young Hay the money Mon
day night, was arrested on suspicion
OF being connected with the murder.

In Wearing Black.

Black is becoming to most women
if attention is paid to the material
as well as the color. When complaint
is made about the unbecomingness OF
black, not alone to dark women, but
to fair ones, as well, it is advisable to
take into consideration the material
employed for costume or waist. A
dull black-such as serge, cloth, nuns
yelling, g:ace silk or crepe de chine
may prove very trying to brunette;
but substitute satin-faced cloth. new
silk or satin, broche silk or rich vel
vet, and a very different effect will be
obtained. A blonde may wear soft
dull blacks with success, but dark
women must forego them, unless pos
sessed of the fair complexion of a
blonde. Shades of heliotrope and
mauve, usually unbecoming to a bru-
nette, may be worn in velvet and
satin, relieved with lace. Chine silks
with f1owered patterns, too, will suit
brunette and blonde admirably

Pictures in the Home.

When we enter home, among the
first things to attract our attention
are the pictures, and from them we
can read the taste-or lack of -it-of
the lady of the house, for they give
us the keynote to her character. If
we find gaudy chromos, and cheap oil
paintings made by lightning artists -
we know at once that refinement is
lacking in that home. Pictures should
be selected always with an eye to the
surroundings in which they will be
placed. If the house is very large and
handsome, and money of no consider
alton, then of course oil paintings by
the best artists are preferable. Peo-
pie of moderate incomes who wish
tasteful homes should choose water
colors, engravings or etchings if they
can be afforded. Artists signed
proofs are most desirable, but no bet
ter than good copies, with the excep-
ton of the signature, which is sup
posed to add value.-Maude C. Muir

colonePs stern, weather-beaten face
changed visibly and looked so grave
that Nellie felt quite convinced that
there was really an underground
monster beneath the fort, which was
trying to get out and eat them all
up; and she was more certain of it
than ever when she heard the old
colonel making Harry describe as ex-
actly as possible the precise spot
where the strange noise had been
heard.
'Have you told anyone else about
this, my boy?" asked he, after hear
ing all that there was to be told.
''No; 1 thought 1 had better report
direct to you, as commandant of the
garrison" replied Harry, doing his
best to speak in military fashion.
"Quite right" said lis father, with
grim smile. ''I'm very glad you
did. Now, I'll tell you what to do.
Take Nellie with you and go and help
your mother to make bandages for
our wounded men, and mind you
don't say word about this to her
or anyone else till 1 give you leave -
Away went the two children, still
rather puzzled, but feeling sure that
sit would all come right somehow"
for they both had unbounded conf
dence in Harry's father, whom they
secretly believed to be the greatest
soldier alive.
1t was drawing toward evening
when the colonel came back, pale and
weary, and with a broad bandage
across his forehead, but looking very
we'll satisfied for all that.
you've saved us all, my little sen
tinels!" cried he, laying one broad,
brown hand on Harry's shoulder and
stroking little Nellie's golden curls
with the other. ''These Hindu ras-
Gals were trying to dig mine under
the fort and blow us all up together,
but we've stopped their little game
for once, ard 1 don't think they'll
have time to try it again"
He was right, for on the very next
day the enemy broke up their camp
and retreated, and they had hardly
disappeared on one side when the

PLOWBOY'S SONG.

The wind is blowing song from me
Over the fields to Daisy,
And the birds are twittering merrily
"Daisy, Daisy, Daisy"
follow the furrow up over the hill,
Turning the dead, gray stubble,
And 1 wonder if anywhere people are still
Signing or borrowing trouble?
Oh, the clouds are lighter and farther away
Than ever they used to be,
And l wonder if anyone listens to-day
For the song that the wind is blowing
from me
Over the fields to Daisy?
Oh, the wind is blowing a song away
Over the fields to Daisy,
And all that ever the blackbirds say
Is "Daisv. Daisy, Daisy
The hen hawk is watching and wheeling
high
And he scars and he dips and rises,
And 1 wonder why people will worry and
die
Striving for pitiful prizes?
The shadows that fall on the burrows are
long,
The meadows with mist is gray
1t is time to unhitch and be done with my
song,
1t is time to be happy and hurry away
Over the fields to Daisy.

rlsOn was not braver than our little
golden-haired Ne1lie-andf at length
she came to a spot where two great
masses of masonry had fallen in such
way as to lean against each other,
forming a kind of low arch very
much like the mouth of cavern.
Harry will never find me here
said she to herself, triumphantly, as
she crept into the hole; and, finding
it not large enough to let her stand
upright, she lay right down upon the
ground, and remained as quiet as a
mouse, chuclSling inwardly to think
how puzzled Harry would be when he
came to look for her.
But scarcely had her ear touched
the earth when she became aware of
strange, dull sound deep down be-
low her, like the measured beat of
oars or the noise which would be
made by scme one humping hard
against padded door.
What could it be? It was certainly
not Harry, and there was no one else
down there except herself; but the
sound could not be merely her fancy
she was quite sure that she did
hear it, and what was more, it
seemed to be growing louder and
coming nearer.
Then, for the first time, little Nellie
began to feel frightened. Even in
the course of her short life she had
seen in the East Indian jungles so
many tigers and crocodiles and huge
snakes and other terrible creatures
that it seemed quite natural to her
that some unknown and fearful mon
ster should have it's underground den
beneath the fort, and should now be
at work to dig it's way out and de-
YOUR them all.
Nellie scrambled headlong out Of
her ding-place-never needing how
sorely. her poor little arms and face
were bruised by. the rough stones
and darted out of the vault in such
haste as almost to knock down Har-
ry, whom she encountered just at the
entrance.
"Oh, Harry" she painted, "there's
monster living there under the
ground, and it's trying to claw it's
way out and eat us!"
The boy looked puzzled, as we'll he
might, and at first seemed more in
clined to laugh than to be scared.
But he became serious enough when
Nellie took him back to the spot and
they both heard the mysterious noise
palmer than ever.
''I'll tell you what" said he, with
an air of decision, "Pn just go
straight to papa and tell him about
this. If there's anything wrong he
ought to be told at once, for he's
commandant of the fort, you know y
And away they both flew to the old
colonel's quarters as fast as their
feet could carry them.
The commandant, who had quite
enough to think of just then, for he
was in the very midst of an inspec-
ton of the failing provisions and a
calculation how long they could be
made to last, frowned slightly at the
intrusion of the children, and was
going to order them out again. But
the instant he heard Harry's first
mention of the mysterious sound, the

against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
physician in April, 1898, she weighed
about 130, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ca, and
took treatment, but it did her no good.
Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ca,
and took treatment from the best
physician there for three months.
She kept going down under his treat
ment, although he was considered the
best physician in the county. She
went down from 130 pounds to 6S, and
we saw she could not live long. She
was skeleton. We consulted an old
physician who told her to use Peruna.
She gradually improved and got
stronger. She has gained 3S pounds
since she has taken Peruna, and is
gaining every day, and does her own
housework.
''She was well known when she was
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had in
digestion and catarrh of the stomach.
1t is as good for children as for grown
people. We haven't had to have doc
tor for one of our children since 1885,"

Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
