CHAPTER xxx. BridaIbin Follows Gabriel.

Boring or Bridalbin-no one ever dis covered why he changed his name-fol- lowed along after Gabriel, and was in time to see him enter the door and close 1t behind him. The Lumsden Place was somewhat in the open, but the trees, where Bridalbin took mp his position of watcher, made such dense and heavy shadows that 1t was almost impossible to distinguish objects more than few feet away. In these heavy shadows Bridalbin stood while Gabriel was sup posed to be eating his supper.
 There was long period of silence, which was finally broken by voices on a veranda not far away. The owner of the voices were evidently carrying on a conversation which had begun inside Bridalbin could see neither the house nor the occupants of the veranda, but he could hear every word that was said. If Bridalbin had been at all fla milar with Shady Dale, he would have known that one of the speakers was Madame Awtry and the other Miss Puel- la Gillum.
 'It was only few weeks ago that they told the poor child about her fa- ther," said Miss Puella. T know 1t nearly broke her heart. -
 Why did they tell her at all?" inquir- ed Madame Awtry. Her voice had in 1t the quality that attracts attention and compels obedience.
 Well, you know Margaret is of age now, and Neighbor Tomln. who is made up of heart and conscience, felt that it would be wrong to keep her in ignor- ance but he couldn't make up his mind to be the bearer of bad news; so it fell to Fanny's lot. But 1t seems that Mar garet already knew. Margaret had known 1t all along, and had only feigned ig- norance in order not to worry her mother. I have. known 1t from the first she said. Please don't tell Nan But Nan had known 1t all along, and Fan ny told Margaret so. It is a pity about her father. If he was what he should be- he'd be very proud of Margaret"
 His name was Bridlebin. or some thing of that kind, was 1t not?' Madame Awtry asked.
 Something like that" replied Miss Puella. ',rhe world Is full of trouble" she said after awhile and her voice was as gentle as the cooing of a dove--"so very full of trouble"
 Yes, she's in good hands," responded Madame Awtry, "yet when she comes here, which she is kind enough to do sometimes, 1t seems to me that I can see trouble in her eyes. It is hard to describe. but it's such an expression as you or I would have if we were depend- ent, and something was wrong or going wrong with those on whom we depended. But 1t may be merely my imagination"
 Tt certainly must be-" Miss Puella de- clared, flor there Is nothing wrong or going wrong with Neighbor Tomlln and Fanny"
 At this point the conversation ceased

CHOOSING WIFE BY MUSIC.
She Is Frivolous If She Prefers
 Strauss.

From the London Express.
 A German professor proposes to solve the difficulty some people seem to have in choosing q wife by trial by music" Everything depends on the taste of the subject under study.
 If she prefers waltz music, and above all Strauss intoxicating strains, she is certainly frivolous.
 If she loves Beethoven, she is artistic. but not practical.
 .Does she prefer Liszt? Then she is am- bilious: while a devotee of Mozart would be rather prndish. Why an admiror of Offenbach should be cunning Is not clear; but remembering the opera of Faust" it is easy to understand that any girl preferring Gounod must be romantic and tender-hearted
 It Is hard upon Flotow that because his music is out of fashion taste for 1t denotes vulgar soul; while GottschallS fares little better, pleasing according to the German professor. only the superfc- lal. Massenet Is supposed to attract the timld, while devotion to Wagners music Is distinct proof of egoism.
 Saint-Saens. however, is a composer the admiration for whom denotes girl of in- telllgence and well-balanced character.

muda hill, contemplating himself and the rest of the world. The stars rode overhead all moving together like some vast fleet of far-off ships. In the north west while Gabriel was watching, huge star seemed to break away from it's companions and rush hurtling to- ward the west, leaving a trail of white vapor behind 1t. The illumination was but momentary The night was quick to snuff out all lights but its own. A bird scream when Brother Fox seized it; mouse might squeak when cousin Screech Owl swooped down on noiseless wing and seized 1t. Uncle Wind might rustic the green grass Tn search of Brother Dust; nevertheless, the order of the hour was silence and Night was prompt to enforce 1t.
 It is fine night, Gabriel thought and the Silence might have answered. "Yes, a fine night and fatefu one" 1t was a night that was to leave It's mark on many lives.

THE FRENCH WoMAN's BATH. Some Perfumes and Ungents That Rem
 der Pure Water Most Potent.

From the London Mail
 The Parisienne who values her good looks leaves the hardy English woman her cold bath and herself chooses tepid water. Cold water, she declares, may be bracing; as to that she cannot judge, but it is surely detrimental to the beauty of the skin and the deli catte hues of a fine complexion.
 The vigorous rubbing alone, which is necessary after a cold tub, she de- clares. coarsens the skin beyond re- demption and leaves it the reverse of a satinlike texture. By her tepid bath, on the contrary, she avows that her nerves are soothed, while her skin Is made elastic and firm.
 When she has reason to desire a tonic influence from her ablutions, after a late party, for instance, the bath is rendered aromatic by means of bountifnl addition of a decoction made of 500 grams of finely pulverized carbonate of soda, Is grams of essence of lavender, 10 of rosemary and 5 of eucalyptus, teaspoonful of which de- coction in a basin of water she also uses daily to bathe her face. She also seldom neglects to massage her skin with the toilet cream she patroinzes, using it sparingly, of course, but work ing it well into the body This is but one of her many aids to beauty. Once a week she has brought to her basin of tepid milk, to which has been tea spoonful of rectified ticture of benzoin and a like quantity of extract of or anga flowers. With this her body is laved, and all that will is allowed to be absorbed by the skin, after which a terid bath Is taken to rinse off the stickiness.
 V A bath made aromatic and strength ening by means of pine essence is one of the favorite forms Parisienne pos SC sses for obtaining beauty. In some shops the enedles and twigs of the pien are purchasable, and these, after being rUt into small pieces, are boiled for half an hour. The lotion thus ob- taiend, after the strainihg process has beer accomplished, is left to cool and lept in the bathroom to add to bath ef tepid water. Pine essence can be purt hased at the chemists, and is useful for the same purpose. A bath of orange blossoms sounds luxurious and is as delicious as one made of, pine needles. ,"
 For softening and cleansing the skin there is simple French prescription. Take 60 grains of glycerine and 100 Of rosewater, dilute these ingredients iii two quarts of water, and use it for 1u ping.

 Now. if this document had been in writing. 1t might have passed for a joke, but it was printed, and this fact. to- rether with it's grave and formal style, gave f the dignity and importance of a genuine proclamation from real, but an ,nseen and unknown authority In addition to this, the spectacular perfor- nance at the Rev. Jeremiah's church the night before gave substance to the proclamation
 The White Riders had disappeared as mysteriously as they came. Only one per- son was known to have seen them after they had left the church-it was sev- eral days before the Rev. Jeremiah could be induced to relate his experIence--and that person was MT. Sanders. What he claimed to have witnessed was even more alarming than the brief episode that oc- cured at the Rev. Jeremiah's church. MT Sanders was called on to repeat the story many times during the next few weeks but 1t was observed by a few of the more thoughtful that he described what he had seen with greater freedom and vividness. when there was a negro within hearing. For q time they were subdued in their demeanor. They even betrayed a tendency to renew their old familiar relations with the whites. But the episode of the White Riders soon be- came a piece of history; the alarm that 1t had engendered grew cold; and Hotch- kiss, aided by Bridalbin. who called him self Boring, soon had the breach between the two races wider than ever.

Prescriptions

We suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle OF the so-called
shotgun prescriptions which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a mcdi-
cine a large number OF different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee docs the same.
This medicine is called Vinol 1t
IS the best thing we know for run
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people - in
fact, it is safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and reconstructor.
1t is not scattering shotgun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows: If you use bottle and
it does not help you, we'll give
you your money back without
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it SO boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
one hundred cases.
