tunately, he fell seriously i'll of a
fever, which completely Frustrated
him. BY degrees their small savings
were expended, then the best of the
furniture was sold, for they We're too
proud to ask help, and SO they went
from bad to worse, until they uriy
had the poor bed, the stove, the table
and two chairs, which now furnished
in scant measure the little room in
the tenement they called home.
Hugh had been out since early
morning hunting for work, and his
wife was growing momentarily more
anxious about his prolonged absence.
What could keep him? 1t began to
grow dark. Pressing her pale face
against the panes, she peered out in
to the street.
Mamma, I'm so hungry" pleaded a
weak little voice from the bed. Cant

'Oh, Harry, what shall we do? Sis
ter wants something to eat?" cried
Mrs. Derwent, putting her arms
around her little boys neck.
Mamma, don't cry. I'll go out
again; perhaps I'll get something
this time, and pr'aps I'll meet papa.
/ won't come back without some
thing this time cried Harry. Now,
see, mamma, if I do. Please don't
cry!"
'Oh, where will you go, my poor
little darling, where will you go?
Your clothes are too thin to go out
in this wind. j cannot, cannot let
you go!"
But Harry was off; he had no time
to lose. He had no time to lose, in
deed, if he meant to reach the great
publishing house in Broad street. 1t
was fully five o'clock, and he must
be there before six, and it was such a
long, weary walk for little fellow
Meanwhile Hugh Derwent had
dragged his weary way homeward.
He had met the usual rebutfs, seine
Iudely uttered, some gently worded,
for there were men who were
touched by his pallid face and the
hopeless expression of his coun-
tenance. Mary listened for his foot
steps, for it was now too dark to see
the passerSby on the street, caught
faint, uncertain sound as of some
enc tottering on the stairs. Opening
the door she discerned the figure of
her husband coming YEARLY up, step
by step, but oh, so slowly. Soon she
had him clasped in her arms. No
need for him to repeat the sad story
of failure again; she knew it when
he touched her cheek with his cold
lips.
where is Harry?" were the first
words he spoke after regaining his
breath, for he was quite exhausted
by the exertion of mounting the
steep staircase
Hes gone out, dearest; 1 couldn't
stop him. Mary cried for something
to eat, and the little fellow rushed
out, determined to do something
Don't be frightened, Hugh, God will
take care of him, and of us, too. We
must not hide our trouble from your
aunt any longer; it isn't justice to
our children

nants of it's pristine beauty as the
light of stray sunbeam shone
through its ruby depths. A long
stemmed, withered rose which it held
was doubtless a reminder of some
happier hour. The occupants of the
room were a mother and her three
children, a puny babe, a little girl,
perhaps three years of age, and a
boy about seven years her senior.
There was nothing about the room
TO suggest that the family had ever
been comfortably placed as regards

Venetian vase, but the face of the

babe, trying to soothe and still its
cries, bore the traces of what had
once been the most refined type of
beauty.

If you feel Jagged out, listless and lacking in energy, you are perhaps suffering from the facilitating effects of summer weather. These symptoms indicate that tonic is needed that will create a healthy appetite, make diges- tion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This, Heroine will do; it is tonic
 laxative and restorative. H. J. Free gard, Propr. Grand View Hotel Cheney, Kan, writes: "I have used Heroine for the last l2 years, and nothing on earth can beat it. It was recommended to me by Dr. Newton, Newton, Kan." Soc at Pioneer Drug Store.

 Hon. w. M. Stewart died at Wilcox on Tuesday of last week of paralysis. His remains were shipped to Los An geles for interment.
 MT. Stewart was pioneer of Ari- zona, coming to the territory about thirty years ago when 8 young man. During the early days, about the time the Southern Pacific railroad was building through Arizona, he was in- teres:ed with John H. Norton in the post leadership at Fort Grant, the firm name being Norton & Stewart. Mir. Stewart, while living at Fort Grant, met the accomplished daughter of Col. H. c. Hooker, of the Sierra Bonita ranch, and she became his wife. MT. Stewart and Mir. Norton became the owners of the Wilcox townsite about the time the trains began to run to that place on the Southern Pacific.
 The firm of Norton & Stewart estab. lished business at Wilcox and Mir. Stewart built commodious house there.
 After many years of successful busi- ness the firm of Norton & Stewart was dissolved, and the latter became inter- ested with Colonel Hooker in the cattle business. Five years ago Mir. Stewart moved to Los Angeles and has since resided there.
 Hon. NJ. w. Stewart was always prominently identified with the Repub. lican party in Arizona and was many times honored politically. He was one of the commissioners who had super vision of the construction of the terri tOrial insane asylum at Phoenix. In 1892 he went to the national Repub- lican convention as 8 delegate from Arizona, and was staunch supporter of James G. Blaine. His colleague in that convention was W. o. Murphy, the present governor.
 Socially Mir. Stewart was an ideal gentleman, and his death will be sim cerely regretted throughout the terri tory. About three years ago he re- ceived paralytic stroke and never fully recovered from it.
