He walked slowly along the dusty
country road on a lovely July even
ing. His air was detected, his clothes
worn and shabby A tramp, one might
decide at first glance; at second. one
could see that he had known better
days. Not age but sense OF failure
had bowed his form and drawn lines
on brow and mouth. He had wreck ed
his life; he had nothing to live for. no
one to love.
The sharp click of shears suddenly
attracted his attention. He raised his
tired eyes from the road and turned
in the direction of the sound. 1t came
from cemetery on steep, green LII
to his right. He could see the marble
shafts cleaning through the trees. A
neat picket fence enclosed it, and the
gate was slightly ajar.
Impelled by a curious feeling he did
not stop to analyze, he pushed it open
and walked wearily up the slope. A
young woman was on her knees beside
grave, clipping the grass along its
edge. Her back was turned to him and
she had not heard his footsteps on the
turf. In soft. cultivated voice she
was singing:
1.-THE sun is sinking fast.
The daylight dies:
Let love awake. and pay
Her evening sacrifice.
He felt languid interest in watch
ing the girl as she took some flowers
from a basket and arranged them in
a crown-white roses and pink, sweet
peas-and scattered pansies on the
velve.y green sward.
Then she arose and stood at the
foot of the grave, regarding it VITA
, look of subdued satisfaction. Her face
was turned in the direction of the lilac
shrub, behind which the intruder
stood, and the sight of it made him
start violently and come forward hast

The girls exclamation of surprise

GUSHER
HOLDING UP
offIclai Reporter put. IT Down to
80 Barrels AN Hour.
Eight Locations Made Around Talk
inoton Well.

The official reporter for the South
Penn OH Company has the Talkington
gusher down to 80 barrels an hour.
Since he reported that the we'll was
making only 1000, when IN fact the
flow was 5000 barrels, it may be safely
concluded that the present production
of the well is 90 barrels an hour or
2,l6O barrels day. This reporter
says of the gusher:-
'''Chere is no producing we'll near 1t
SO that il it has anything back OF it
the decline should be rapid. The sur
rounding territory is in doubt. This
strike recalls the one made by the
same company four years ago on the
Wightman farm near Wallace, Harri-
son county. This well for time pro-
duced $500 barrels day and was the
incentive for drilling many wells in
that locality but none got any such
production as the No. on the Wight
man farm. In fact, later develop.
ments proved it to be nothing more
than freak. 1t is still producing and
has probably placed $4,000 barrels of
oil to its credit. Even as freak it
was a very profitable discovery. 1t
will be about sixty days before any
thing more is known of the territory
surrounding the Talkington farm
gusher.''
Eight locations have been made in
the neighborhood of the darlington
gusher.

Consumption is a human
weed fiourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young !,
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds viii disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
IS good too, but it is very hard
TO digest.
The time to treat consump-
lion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you wort.
Don't wait until you cant
deceive yourself any longer
Begin with the first thought
TO take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; You will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
