over the considerable stock of gold 1t
still contained. I knew he had no
money to offer to supply me with for
my Journey, and knew also that he
was troubled because he had not The
sight of my we'll filled purse set him at
ease, though not word of it was
spoken between us. We went down
stairs and out to the stable White

Owain helped with a will. glanced
across the courtyard time and again,
and at last saw Enid Vaughan stand
Ing at the door which led to the hall,
and looking across to the building in
which we We're. left Owain to lead
the mare out and crossed at once to
the young lady,
And is 1T good bye, then, Master
Heathcote?" she said. Il fear the re-

paused, and her lip curled in proud
Shame.
"oh, no, no!' said, mot you-not
Qwain l shall remember every mo-
ment I have spent with you as the
happiest of my life"
My heart was SO full and she seemed
so moved at my going that I was on
the point of uttering my dearest
thought, when checked myself and
bit my lips into silence. had lost the
whole of my heart to Enid Vaughan,
and loved her as had never con-

for Enid that I was flying again now.
II remained to run the gauntlet of
my uncle's ferocious retainers, what
chance would remain to me of COM
Ing back, mayhap, in more fortunate
times, to say what l dared not say
now?
You are going into the night" said
Enid, land here the night is the time
of danger"
Il do not fear, indeed" l replied,
with Whitesock under me. Nor do

will be moving after their late terrible
lesson
There was rattle of hoofs behind
me, and whitesock, plucking the reins
from Owain's loose grip. cantered
across the courtyard and laid her head
over my shoulder

in a low voice, but be sure! oh! be
sure of this, that should a lucllier day

Enid became very pale and gazed
upon me with clear steady look In
her great dark eyes. l bent over her
hand and kissed 1t, and in an Instant

From door, from window. from

as Owain threw open the gate of the
courtyard. held his hand in firm,
warm grip for moment, then swung
myself into the saddle and paced out
to the road. We exchanged the barest
words Of farewell, for there was too
many inquisitive ears about to say
more, and rode away from Nant-y-

QUIT WHINING,
A Plea Tor the Cheerful Soul Who

A Plea Tor the Cheerful Soul Who
Lives to Be Happy.
Medical Talk: There isn't ANYTHING In
the world more disagreeab.e than q N-hin-
ing person. He wines If 1t is hot. He
whines IL 1T is cold. He whines at this, he
whines at that, he whines at everything.
Whine, whine, whine. 1t is Just a habit
he has fallen into. There is nothing the
matter with him. 1t is just bad habit.
The wilmer is generally an idle person or
lazy one What he needs is to be set to
work-at real hard work, mental CT
physical. Some work that will interest
him and engage his whole attention and
he will not have time to whine. We know
two women. One of them does her own
housework and takes care of ner horse be-
sides. She is happy and singing al the
day long. The keyboard Of her life sounds
no whining note. 1t Is a pleasure to be
with her, a good. wholesome tonic to
watch her. The other woman Is so SIT
uated that she does not have to work.
Nothing to do but to a,nuse herself. She
has no zest In life, no interest In any
thing She Is a bunch of seliishness and
wines at everything. Whining has be-
come such a habit with her that her most
casual remark is tinged with Il whine.
She Is miserable herself and makes every
body else in her presence miserable. She

strength of q superb womanhood
There is nothing the matter with you.
Just quit your whining and go to work.

THE MODERN FRENCH GIRL.
Relaxation of the Conventions That
Obtained Forty Years Aoo,

Scribner'S Magazine: How astonished
would the modern French girl be We're
she told not to take the leading part i'll
conversation, not to giggle loudly, not
to set her arms allimbo. and never to
talk privately with young gentleman!
She would think such recommendations
perfectly ridiculous as preventing all
possible limitations, for the art of hirta-
ton is never at its best unless prac-
ticed i'll private. l5ut forty years ago,
when parents deemed that marriage
vas not Il proper subject for the
thoughts OF thei: daughters, Irritation
even as u word-was unknown in
France. At that time simplicity of
dress was the order oil the day for
young maidcns, and even conferred Il
certain distinction, being carried as far
as possible among the aristocracy
There We're special light silks and mex
pensive trinkets for jeunes files, set
with corals, enamels and pearls, among
which the tiniest of diamonds would
never have been tolerated amy more
than costly laces, furs or elaborate
trimming.
At Il glance it was easy to ascertain
by the style of dress whether n young
woman was married or not. whereas,
ii is not by any means so easy now,
jewels being Worn alike in both cases.
And IL is not any easier to guess from
the behavior in society. for it may hap
pen that the conversation is taken up
and carried on by the girls in their de-
sire to shine and attract attention-the
married women being silenced and ig
nored in the midst of the excitement
and amusement artfully created by free
sallies. unrestrained laughter and much
.attitudinizing.
No doubt the conventional restric-
lions of forty years agov ere somewhat
excessive, and kept French girls till
after marriage in q state of prolonged
childhood; nevertheless it remains TO
be seen whether the rapid change
which has supervened is q real gain,
for ii it has remcdied some evils of the
old system it has also engendered new
ones and on that account many
thoughtful French parents are now Sc
liousiy disquieted about the future of
their daughters.

Peruna is frequently used as a mitiga-
ton of the effects of hot weather. What
a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the
mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the
skin healthy, Peruna makes the mu-
cous membranes clean and healthy
With the skin and mucous membranes
in good working order hot weather can
be withstood with very little suffering
Frequent bathing with an occasional

Conducting a Campaign
(Continued from Eighth Page.)

1t is one of the big tasks. A veteran in
Omaha and Nebraska politics, the one man
whose experiences are probably more val
liable than those of any other in the state,
Inmates that under ordinary circumstances
about $500 is required to properly con-
duct a city campaign IN this city and then
he admits that no money need be wasted
and that more than that could easily be
used legitimately.
Three legitimate and common sources OF
revenue present themselves. One is before
the primaries by taxing every man who
goes on the primary ticket as a candidate
delegate; another is to tax every nominee
of the convention, and the third is by vol
untary contribution, which is not always
a safe plan. Few crimes Of credulity are
committed in the management Of a polit-
zeal campaign, at least not by the sagacious
and astute politicians. Too often the
natural presumption of law is reversed and
men are sometimes charged with the oner-
Gus task of proving their innocence. At
any rate, when 1t comes to getting oil for
lubricating this campaign machine the
shrewd engineer does not sit down and wait
for a gusher. The law by which nominees
are taxed for their proportion Of the cam
paign expenses has been severely criti-
cized because 1t imposes a uniform amount
on each candidate, regardless OF the sal
airy of the Office to which he aspires. 1t is
held that there should be a ratio between
the contributions, governed by the ratio
of the salaries. Another lameness in this
law has been pointed out in that where 1t
limits the amount OF money an once seeker
may expend. 1t simply invites perjury. since
It is maintained that but very few men are
going to stay within these bounds fixed
by law II they see a chance to profit in
transgression, and that they are not going
to indict themselves by submitting a report
showing they have spent more than the Law
allows them.

Chemical Alcohol

The Journal oficial of Paris says in .
report of the proceedings OF the National
Agricultural society that a new means has
been discovered of producing alcohol. As q
result of experiments made many years ago
by Mr.. B%erthelot, in the chemical analysis
of alcohol, efforts have been made to per-
feet and simplify the proceedings that he
had indicated, and It now appears that
chemical alcohol can be made from carburs
OF calcium and its product, acetylene. at
9 cents a gallon, the alcohol to be Of 100
degrees.
