The Headlines.


To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an "o'er true tale" Having hap
pened in small Virginia town in the
winter of 1902, it is story very much of
the present. Up to short time ago Mrs.
John E. Harmon. of Melfa Station, Va,
had no personal knowledge of the rare
curative properties of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. Last January" she
says, my baby took dreadful cold and
at onetime l feared she would have pneu-
monia, but one of my neighbors told me
how this remedy had cured her little boy
and began giving it to my baby at once
and it soon cured her. 1 heartily thank
the manufacturers of Chamberlain s
Cough remedy for placing so great cure
within my reach. I cannot recommend
it too highly or say too mnch in its favor
1 hope all who read this will try and be
convinced as was.' For sale by ]. 7.

CHAPTER XIII.

Lord Harold Erskine had never been
to stay at Endon Vale since Winifred
had lived there, and this was the only
reason Lady Grace ever had to regret
her presence--it kept the nephew whom
she loved away. Once, when she had Il
letter from him, she read 1t, and sighed
heavily as she laid 1t down. Winifred
understood what the, sigh meant She
summoned up courage the next time they
were alone and said:
II know you are unhappy because you
do not see Lord Harold, Lady Grace.
Please let me go away somewhere for
time, and let him come here, II he does
not like to meet me-
II do not think, my dear, that he minds
meeting you so much as that he fears
his presence might make you uneasy"

of me? Am l not here from your kind.

hOnored by his ever thinking Of ME; but
he will have forgotten me now, aud why
should we not meet as II such thing
had never .happened?"
II will tell him." Isady Grace said; and
she wrote to him that very day, begging
him to come.
The next day he arrived, to his aunt's
great delight. The meeting between him
and Winlfred was cordial and unaffected.
The restraint wore off, and they relaps-
ed into an easy friendship; at all events,
the young lady did.
OF course. as soon as Lord Harold
heard his old friend Enrol Hastings was
at the Court he betook himself at once to
see him, although he was coming to din

MOSQUITOES in LOUISIANA

They Are Many aud Active, and One IL
q Monster In Sig.
"YOu may talk about your mosQui.
toes up here In the North" said resi-
dent Of Bayou Sara, ''but IL you should
spend an hour or so fishing in some OF
our Louisiana swamp bayous you
would wonder that you ever complain
ed Of your New Jersey or Staten Island
mosquitoes as an instrument Of torture
There are eight or nine different va
rieties Of mosquitoes hatched In those
dark and noisome swamp bayous, and
no matter which kind samples you you
viii wish 1t had been some other kind.
for it will seem that no other kind could
bite quite as bad as that one. There are
gray mosquitoes long, gaunt, wolfish-
looking fellows-reddish-b mosqui-
toes, black mosquitoes Of blush cast
and one that is nearly green. The one
that will strike you as the most for.
midable is one we call gallinipper
down there, and 1t resembles that,
harmless insect both in size and make,
up. 1t is easily half an incn long in
body, with spread of wing an inch
wide, and a kit in which 1t carries its
tools that is as,lOng as Its body.
This .fearfully equipped insect mon
ster has saw, gimlet, lance and
a suction pump. As he can bore through
your boot and puncture your foot with
ease and dispatch, you may well imag-
Inc how much protection clothing or
gloves are against his assaults. Fortu-
nately, though, this giant mosquito
tint poisonous. The damage he does to
your physical comfort is done by his
boring and saving and lancing of the
flesh. That hurts like pounding your
thumb with hammer, and leaves a
spot that will be sore and tender. for
days.
"All the remaining eight varieties are
fun of venom and vim to get it where
1t win do the greatest harm TO the
greatest number, but the worst of all is
the smallest one Of the lot. This is a
gray mosquito, not more than an eighth
of an inch long, but every place that he
sinks his stlnger in on you will instant
ly rise up as big as hickory nut, turn
as red as fire and pain like hornets
sting. AS the reservoir containing that
insects venom cannot possibly be
larger than fly speck, the virulence
of 1t may be imagined.
"The experienced person never goes
fishing in those mosquito-infeeted
bayous," continued the Loulsianan, acs
cording to the New York Times, ''un-
less he has his head and face incased in
netting, fixed on light steel frame,
and with thick gloves on his hands.
Gloves, though, are no bar to the big
gallinlpper mosquitoes kit of tools.
"Why does any one go fishing in those
noisome places? Because the fishing is
always good, while it never is in the
open water bayous of Louisiana. Perch,
bass, jackflsh, as the plckerel is called
down there, and other fish of fair game
quality are abundant In those dark,
sluggish, root-tangled waters, and the
enthusiastic angler is willing to dare
the mosquitoes and other poisonous
denizens of those swamps to obtain q
few hours sport with his hook and
linn0
