Saved the Baby.

New Providence, Iowa. July 7th.-
Little Helen Moon, the threeyear-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. V. Moon
of this place, had narrow escape from
death.
Her mother noticed she seemed to be
very clumsy and complained when she
was rocked. Her limbs and face We're
bloated badly.
A doctor was summoned, but she got
no better. He said she had Kidney
Trouble in the worst form.
Two other doctors were called in. and
they agreed that there was very little,
if any, hope. She was bloated all over,
her eyes being completely closed and
her abdomen bloated until it was pur-
pie.
They bought six boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and she commenced to i'm
prove at once. She had used nine box
es before the dropsy was all gone. The
treatment was continued and now she
is as we'll as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little ones life.

The Lady Of the Valley.
BY JAMES w. K1LBURN.


Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
1t was yellowing fall weather when
I came upon the camp, flanked by a
cornfield. A woman, whom had seen
upon the road. sat on stump smok-
ing. A red shawl was knotted under
her arms and earrings protruded from
her head handkerchief. She knocked
the ashes from her pipe, but her eyes
set deep in a worn face-looked
hind me. l sat upon another stump,
and presently she said:
Twill the lady have her fortune
told?"
1.-THE last one you told me did not
come true" replied, and was re-
warded by seeing that pipe removed
with as much surprise as is compat-
ible with one, of her stamp. Her eyes
were now dark wells, to be fathomed
by no light plummet.
""Tis not always a poor gypsy's
fault" she said.
"You told me I should cross the
water and marry dark man, and I've
done neither"
There is water still there, lady,
and the dark men are not all dead!"
"Twas at Tivoli Fair" proceeded,
"the day the lion got loose and the
keeper was hurt l paused, remem-
bering all that the day had involved.
There had been robbery and arrest,
and it was said that the gypsies were
implicated. The incident had been
forgotten. but not the personality OF
the woman who had interested me.
Suddenly the name came to me, CIV

directness is not the route by which
such creatures arrive said: "Per-

heard of herr"
She knocked the ashes from her
pipe and through the veil of defen-
siveness there seemed to leap CLEAN
of longing, the longing of an alien to
touch once more the beloved soil.

bad lot, she vast"
Il should like to know what became
of her." 1 persisted.
Hard to tell what becomes of the
likes of her!"
do you know where Daylia went
after Tivoli Fair?" asked.
Eyes, yes, lady! I'm thinking 1t

a hard cold and died, Daylia did, and

Died on DEVILS Island,

Only the other day there died on
DEVILS Island, the French convict set
tlement off Cayenne, the man who in
vented and patented the telegraphic
system now universally adopted in
France, and known as the multiple
transmission system. Victor Nimault,
twenty years ago, was an electrical
employee of the French Geographic
service. In 1871 he discovered and le-
gally protected system of multiple
transmission, on which he had been
busted for years. Almost coincident-

action against M. Baudot and M. Ray

was tried, sentenced to Imprisonment
for life, and in due course was sent out
to Cayenne. Twenty years having

President Loubet. A subscription made

The irony of it all is that poor Nj
mault's system has been in use in
France for many years now; for, after
he was sentenced, it was found to be
preferable to the one adopted and APP
proved by Raynaud. the then director
of the Geographic department.
