CHAPTER Xxx


The year was waning, Christmas not a
great way off.
Sir Thomas and Lady Nevil had spent
two months at their northern place in en-
pertaining succession of shooting par
ties. June had enjoyed this immensely;
she had, no doubt, great love of pleas
ure and excitement.
Madge had been a guest the greater
part of the time. She was not the same
willful, mirthful, mschievous creature
that we have hitherto known her. No
need to check the eXuberance of her spir-
its now. She laughs and talks; outwarily
she does not give any particular impress
sion of wearing the willow; but, as a
matter of fact, she is desperately unhap-
Ply.
Three weeks before Christmas, Sir
Thomas and Lady Nevil, with their heir
and suite, left the north and returned to
the Hall. Tom was rejoiced to get back
to his beloved home. June was almost
equally pleased, and only one thought
crept in to dampen her enthusiasm. That
was the thought of Agnes.
Several times during the homeward
journey June had hoped she would be
spared seeing Agnes on their arrival; it
was with a feeling of unfeigned vexation
that, as they drove up to the Hall door,
she saw her cousin on the step to meet
them. arrayed in her sweetest smiles. Tom
greeted her with amazing heartiness, and,
to behold her reception of his son and
heir, one might have imagined her a
mother parted from her long-lost child.
Tom insisted on her remaining to dinner,
and she accepted this invitation without
the smallest demur or any reference to
June. Her ladyships homecoming was
completely spoiled: the shadow which had
disappeared entirely from between her
and her husband doomed ominously over
them once more: she felt angry and i'm
patient with him.
At dinner Tom was in the highest spir-
its. Agnes evinced considerably more
than her wonted chastened gayety. and
it was only June who felt vexed, discon-
tented, out of sorts. She could not be
pleasant to her cousin, and she was an
grily conscious that Agnes infinitely pre-
ferred her displeasure to seeing her in her
usual mood.
AT ten o'clock her ladyship hoped, with
some GOODNESS, that her cousin would ex-
cuse her, and Agnes jumped up, exclain-
ing. with an air of regret:
us it really ten O'clock How the even
ing has flown. l did not think it could
be more than nine. Did you, Tom?'

know, Aggie. when it's spent pleasantly"
1T does indeed" responded Agnes. Il
must go home. OF course, Tom, you are
tired after your journey, and must not
be selfish enough to take you out to-
night"
But Tom swore he was as fresh as a
daisy. and that he should like nothing
better than TO stretch his legs bit.
Then Agnes deposited bird-like kiss
on June's cheek, which made that fair
lady grind her teeth with disgust and
repugnanee, and the pair set off gayly to-
gether.

VA De lie LIE LII SsoShsAVy VI
Guthrie, Okla, cured of a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medi-
cines universally prescribed dc not
seem to restore the patients normal
condition.
Mrs. Pinkham claims that there
is kind of dyspepsia that is caused
= by arrangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges-
ton, cannot be relieved without q
medicine which not only acts as .
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.

nothing will relieve this distress

best idea of the greatiscalc upon whicf
our railroads are oRrated. The tni
number Of cars is 1,d09.4T2. A single
box car representing the space occupied
by all these cars would be tso-thirds oi
mile in length and one-quarter OF a
mile in height. The Pyramid OF Cheop7
would reach about to the floor OF the

side it, il would reach only two-thirds Of
the distance to its roof, while the whole
Brooklyn Bridge, with it's anchorages,
could be placed bodily inside the car, and
if the foundation of its piers rested upon
the ear floor, the summit OF its toweTe
would still reach only half way to the
roof OF the car

ent forget the tide Of years that had
borne some of them far mit on Life's
ocean, and with the melody were waited
buck to childhood's shore, and together
with a merry crowd Of "other" children
enjoyed beautiful Christmas tree, given
by Mesdames Hall and Durham, loaded
with treats and bonbons for both the
wee and old tots present. A well render
cd program was much appreciated by
all, interspersed with instrumental mu-
sic. All went "Merry as a marriage bell
till near midnight, when bark such n
tinlsling Of bell, tramping Of hoofs and
mysterious command from the driver to
his steeds, as was heard from the silence
without, making the hearts Of the little
ones bound anew, for all knew il heralded
the approach OF that dear old character,
Santa Claus, whose mystical visits once
held such charm for all. OF course he
was admitted with all his queer regalia,
and after an hour OF hilarity with the
children, vanished into "the great un-
known" as mysteriously as he came. .

DEMOCRATS
FAVOR HILL
TIE CHOICE OF THE ANTi-BRYAN
Z. WING
Two STATES ARE PLEDGED
Machine Leaders Have Plans All
Made-Parker Is Toe Con-
sentative.

washington, March 6.-.Among the
conservative sound money democrats
who are determined to eliminate Bry-
an and his followers from control of
the democratic national organization,
. strong movement has developed in
favor of David B Hill Special adj
vices from Albany to Washington
printed here today by leading papers
state that Mr.. Hills position as lead
FL of the sound money movement to
overthrow Colonel Bryan has been
effectively established.
Democrats, Parker as we'll as Hill
followers, agree that nothing short of
a political revolution can despoil Hill
OF the immense party advantages he
been ~slumbering.
Information of unquestioned relia-
bility now insspossession of Parker's
friends, establishes the fact that the
machine leaders of New York and
Indiana have pledged these states to
Hill.
Judge Parker is himself aware of the
situation. 1t is his present policy to
remain absolutely passive with re-
spect to all changes in the presi-
Dental outlook. He will not refuse
the democratic nomination for the
presidency if it is rendered to him
with substantial unanimity, a platform
of principles satisfactory to conserva-
tive commercial and financial inter
ests of the country having first been
adopted.
Judge Parker's very strong opinions
on the subject of William j. Bryan do
not coincide with those of Hill. Park
er is not in favor of a sound money
fight on Bryan in Nebraska and
throughout the. south and west. 1t
may be said positively that Parker
is at odds with the organizers of this
movement. He does not believe in a
drastic policy of dealing with the Ne
braskan. He is of the opinion that
Bryan should be treated with great
consideration. Hill. on the other hand,
favors a straight out anti-Bryan
fight.

In 1901, in consequence OF the theft
of $50 horses from the Medicine Butte
company, in South Dakota, the author

for the arrest Of the gang and the
Medicine Butte company offered a
like amount.
Officers trailed the man to Wolton

DELAWARE LEGISLATURE.
State Courts Will Be Called on to Say
If Session Is Ended.

Dover, Del, March 6.-The status
of the Delaware legislature is under
consideration by the judges Of the
STATE courts, who will decide the con
stitutionality of the action Of the
minority in adjourning the assembly
for more than n day. The consti-
tuition does not authorize a minority
to adjourn either branch of the as
sembly except from day to day. The
legislature adjourned Monday after
the election of two United States sen
ators to meet the following day. On
Tuesday, however, d majority of the
members went to Washington to see
the new senators Vol in. AS only
a few of the legislators were present
at Tuesdays session, Representative
Holcomb adjourned the house until
today. Legal authorities say the act
was unconstitutional and has render
ed the house noneXistent. The gov
ernor, it is said, will be compelled to
call an extra session of the legislature
to be in session so days, beginning
Monday. This will necessitate the
renewed introduction OF every bill
now pending before the legislature.

rife and a belt full of cartridges.
Returning to the barn, he mounted
the fastest horse and made his es-
cape The ranchman fired a fusilade
of shots at the escaping bandit and
heard him cry out in pain, but he was
not dangerously wounded. The next
day Carey was trailed a distance OF
30 miles by blood from his wound, but
he took a stream and thus threw his
pursuers off the trail. Senator Mad
den offered a reward of 500 for the
capture of the outlaw and since that
time officers have been searching for
Carey.
Early in January Laughing Dick
vas located in Routt county, Colorado,
but he got wind of the officers and
fled to Utah. About the middle of
February Carey was located in the
mountains near T~hompson's Utah, but
he was warned by friends Of the ap-
proach of the officers and again made
his escape.

Denver, Colo, March Ga special
to the Post from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says: Laughing Dick" or as he is
more commonly called Gaping Dick"
Carey, said to be the last of the no
torfSus Hole-in-the-Wall gang of "cat-
tie rustlers' and train robbers, for
whom rewards aggregating $4,000
have been offered, is still at large,
but a posse is close on his trail and
his capture is hourly expected.
Last Wednesday Gaping Dick
passed through Saratoga, en- route
north IL hours ahead of the officers,
but his mount was iaded and it is
thought he cannot escape. In view
OF the proposed hunting trip of Pres
ident Roosevelt through Wyoming an
extra effort is being made to place
the outlaw behind the bars.

member of the notorious Butch" Cas-
sidy and George Curry gangs of out
