"No, no; let ME 60 past, Johnny. I've

honest and hearty as man ever loved
a woman ever. The Lord Almighty

to take care O. you, Jess. Jess!
He had hurried over the little speech
as If time were precious, but the cry
at the end came from his soul. He had
his hard brown hands out to her.
LET me 60 past, Johnny; let me 60
pastw cried Jess fercely. She could
not trust herself to look at him. 1t
was her only safeguard.
Answer me straight out, Jess Bin
neyT demanded Johnny, with stern
despair. "Ain't got the right to be
answered same as other men? Amt I?
Amt waited long enough for an an
swer? No, no; not that, Jess! Don't
say you don't love me! IL know that.
But l want you anyway. I'll be that
good to you, little girl! I'll take that
care O. you
Jess stared down the white roadway
unseeingly. Even the little un's bowed
figure, waiting, did not come Within
her vision. She began to speak In q
harsh, strained voice.
"You want me to answer straight
out-ain't that what you said, Johnny
Well, it won't take long, it's so short"
For one instant Jess let her eyes
meet Johnny's. She lowered, straight
and pitiless, between him and the sun.
"No," she said quietly. "Now let me
60 past, Johnny"
The little un was whimpering softly
to himself. Jess held out her hand to
him with gentle conciliation. She was
always gentle with the little un, and
for her sake every one else was gentle
too. He was tiny and weird, and his
little childish face peered out through
q tangle of yellow hair. 1t was not
misfit, this name. He would always
be little un in body and In mind.

"Why, little un! Why, little un!'
crooned Jess soothingly, the mother
sound in her voice. The little un could
not remember any other mother but
less. For six Of his seven years she
had mothered his misshapen, stunted
little body tenderly.
"Why, little un, and sister was goin

When Jess came home, Johnny's face
was turned away. He covered it with
his great lean hands.
Johnny, Johnny" quavered Jess,
but she knew the mischief was done.
It had to come. All her tenderness
and foresight could not ward 1t off.
Granny had only precipitated it little.
How Jess had watched the terrible
wounds heal slowly into ugly seams
and suffered for Johnny! Not for her
self, for what did Jess care for the ug-
liness that blighted Johnny's handsome
face forever? 1t was still Johnny's
face, and Johnny belonged to her. She
was going to marry Johnny.
But her heart ached for him. She
could hardly bear it. Today, speeding
down the long stretch Of roadway from
the works, she had wished her face,
too, could be scanned and marred like
Johnny's. Jess knew the fresh, sweet
beauty Of her own face, and the con-
trast hurt her for Johnny.
"Poor Johnny" murmured Jess. An
other difficulty loomed over her-her
public avowal before the men and girls
the day Of Johnny's sacrifice. Every
word Of it stood out like clear hand
writing on the wall. They had all
heard-all but Johnny. What would
he think when he heard Of 1t, too, out
side, as he would be sure to do? He
was getting stronger all the time. Soon
he would be out again. and some Of the
boys would let the secret out.
But that trouble settled itself while
Jess stood and looked down at John
ny's hidden face. The pity and the
love In her soul crowded out every
thing else. She kept soothing the big
white hands with her fingers over and
over. and then she leaned down and
kissed them. Johnny quivered from
head to foot. Johnny" Jess cried.
Johnny, look up, look up! Please,
dearw
She forced away his hands with gen.
tie firmness. She was looking down at
him. laughing little. shyly. A wave
Of crimson crept up across her sweet
face. What I've got to say Is that l.
love you, Johnny. The Lord Almighty
knows | do. want you to let me mar
ry you. Johnny, you've got to! l said
l was goin to. l told them all I was

The rest she whispered with her face
in his neck as she knelt beside the bed.
Johnny, answer me straight out"
she breathed. Haven't got right
to be answered same as-other wom-
en|
She was laughing softly under her
breath, but he could feel the hot blood
In her face.
"I'm goin to marry you, Johnny"
whispered Jess. ~ love you, dear"
The little un stopped stealthily out to
granny. His uncanny, strange child's
face was full of awe, and he prodded
granny's arm e1citedly with little
sharp fore6nger.
my, Jess is kissin Johnny" he
shrilled. "An Johnny's kissin Jess"

Granny was waiting too. There was

always whistled loudly for Jess to
hear. She had told him once that II

gave her.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.
How Various Editors Look at Various Sub.

jeets.
Philadelphia Record: The chairman
Of the house committee on approprta-
tions, Mr.. Cannon, got up from his
seat on Monday last and laying his
hand upon his stomach, decried the ex-
aggerated statements Of extravaganza
which have been sent forth to the
press on the authority Of members OF
congress. The grand total Of appro-
priation Of the short session, he i'm
pressively declared, Is only $694, ,11S, ,595
(omitting the $53, 900, 900 to be paid into
the sinking fund). Only two million
dollars to be paid out during every day
in the year! Truly congress that has
succeeded in holding down appropria-
tions so that only two million dollars a
day are required to keep the wheels
turning may we'll turn up its eyes In
depreciation when charged with extrav-
agance!
Manufacturers Record: The South
Carolina legislature acted wisely In re-
fusing to consider a resolution con-
demning the action Of United States
senator McLaurin in making a speech
favoring the development Of American
shipbuilding. The attitude Of Senator
McLaurin on a number Of great ma
tional questions now before congress
has been criticised in South Carolina.
This criticism has not prevented him
from doing what he is convinced Will
be for the best interests Of his state
and Of his section. His position may
not accord with that Of machiue poll
ties. That does not imply that he may
not be acting as statesman instead
of as a politician; the latter looks to
immediate good for himself, the for
mer plans for the ultimate welfare OF
his people. Naturally, the politician
opposes the statesman. But the states
man has the assurance that the grip
of the politician upon the people Is
weakening, and that the day Is not far
distant when the people will look for
leadership to the man who sees In
senatorial career more than an oppor-
tunity for office brokerage.
New York Evening Post: The annex
alton Of Cuba is the goal to which the
administration is definitely marching.
The denial Of independence means the
certain and speedy Incorporation Of the
island in the American union. The
original annexationists are chuckling
over the realization Of their aims more
speedily than they had dared to hope.

The Doctor She Wanted.

Intelligent women are always doing
bright things, and Mrs. A. A. Libby, a
competent nurse, at Pownal, Me-, did
bright thing, and did it in bright
way, when she sent for the doctor she
wanted.
1t all came about in this wise:
Early last winter she was stricken
down with the grip, which left her very
weak and without appetite.
The sight of food nauseated her.
A lady with whom she was stopping,
realizing that it is almost as hazardous,
to neglect the effects of the grip as the
disease itself, - the effects commonly
blood, impaired digestion, loss of ap-
petite and strength and increased sus-
ceptibility to disease, said she must
have doctor.
81 asked the LADY,, said Mrs. Libby,
March 9TH, 1900, eff she would get the
doctor l wanted. She said she would,
and asked her to go and get bottle OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla. She laughed at
such an unexpected turn; but got the
medicine and l began taking it. My
appetite came back, began to grow
strong, and now 1 am well and have
not hadssa bad cold this winter"
But there is more to be said.
Some time previously, Mrs. Libby
had taken Hoods Sarsapsrilla for ca
tarrh and headache, by which she had
been greatly troubled, and it quickly
relieved her and, to use her own words,
did her world of good.
Hoods Sarsaparilla 10 the medicine
that acts directly and peculiarly on the
blood, Kidding it of all impurities and
making it rich and abundant, and ia
positively unequalled for rsnovating
and building up the whole system, cur
ing all scrofulous diseases, oatarrh,
dyspepsia, kidney complaint, and re-
storing health and strength after the
grip, pneumonia, and all prostrating
or facilitating sicknesses, also after
scarlet fever, diphtheria, and other
blood-poisoning diseases.
Don't fail to take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. 1t will surely do you good.

De MOlay's New Banner.

De Molay Commandery has Just pur-
| chased new parade or street banner,
which for elegance in design and artistic
taste can hardly be surpassed, aud it is
no wonder that the Sir Knights are all
proud of 1t. Its cost is said to be up In
the pictures.
1t is double banner, 36x54 inches.
The beauseant side, upper half, is Of fine
black gros grain imported silk; the lower
half is of white MORE antique. In the
center of the field is Knight mounted
on black horse artistically painted in
rich colors, representing an ancient cru
sader. On the same side is the name
and number of the commandery, location
and the date of the charter, 1867 all in
conspicuous gold letters.
The reverse side is made of green
gros grain silk with a seven-pointed star
in the center within which is red cross
of equal arms and angles surrounded by
the motto of the order-"Magna est
Veritas ct Prevaleblt''-signifying, Truth
Is Mighty and will prevail.
Both sides are handsomely decorated
with fine gold lsces, fringes, cords and
tassels.
The banner is mounted on a tastily
designed quartered oak cross bar with
attractive gold tips and is suspended on
a finly polished pointed staff.
1t has become proverbial that there Is
nothing too rich for De Molay when it
starts in and that fact is demonstrated
in the selection and purchase of new
parade banner.

Dress Cutting School

where you are taught to cut garments of
every description correctly in the latest styles
and by the simplest, quickest and most eco
nomical manner.
Our garment cutter is certainly q great ad-
vance in mechanical science. 1t possesses all
the fine points OF all other methods and then
steps far beyond them by cutting every kind
OF a garment worn by humanity regardless OF
size and shape without a change of seam. 1t
is new cutter and a matchless success and
dwarfs anything OF its kind ever brought be-
fore the public, and facts always outweigh
theories and the above are practical facts and
our school cuts large figure towards help
ing those who wish to help themselves.
This school is richly worth the consideration
of the best people in the best communities
and all are cordially invited to investigate for
themselves (Which very many are doing)

On the Big Block of Coal Territory
in Belmont County, as Rapidly as
Titles Are Closed.
The Empire Coal and Mining Com
pany, who have purchased the 5000
acre block of coal land south and west
of Bellaire, as has been stated in the
Register, will soon be able to pay off
these options, and yesterday showed
that they meaLt business.
Although not being ready to pay on
account of the Titles. they made it
plain to the farmers that they would
receive their money. About fifty
farmers called ait the Office of Theo-
dcre Neff yesterday and accepted the
following from the company: They
were given a note for $50 for thirty
days, bearing 6 per cent. interest,
which, in other words, means a dollar
a day for thirty days, and if not paid
in that time the option is void.
Those who did not wish to take the
notes were given $50. for which they
gave a receipt as part payment ON the
option. 1t is understood that this plan
was satisfactory to the farmers. The
large force of men are working hard to
get the abstracts made out, and are
making good progress, considering The
conditions of the many titles.
