chateIaine Bags for Men.

The Oasis. which is published at No
gales and caters to the somewhat over
refined dwellers on the border Of Ari-
zona and the state Of Sonora. Mexico.
says
A Newport dude has introduced the
fashion for men of carrying small
chatelaine bags to hold the various ar
ticles with which they usually burden
their pockets. 1t is most sensible
idea. and it is to be hoped that the
style will be generally adopted. At
present man carries load OF pock-
etbooks, papers, notebooks. letters.
etc. pulling his clothing all out OF
shape and inconveniencing himself
generally. The new chatelaine bag
will afford a handy receptacle for all
these things. not half SO 'uncomfort-
able or inconvenient as the present
multiplicity of pockets"
Strangely enough, the Oasis omits
to state that chatelaine might on oc-
casion perform a useful Office in stop

ira Young, the ten-year-old 5on of Les.
ter Young of this place, is bright
boy, and one who is very well liked
by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered a
great deal with form of Kidney Trou-

which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life
His father heard of remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he is now completely cured OF
the old trouble. He says:
''Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now | can sleep all
Light without having to get up. We
will alwa.s prai2e Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should oe promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills Is
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made well boy of him
self by using Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
any one may do the same by the same
means.

The fire died down on the hearth
until only glowing heap of ashes re-
NAMED. The rain and wind sobbed
outside at the doors and windows,
swaying the creaking sign at the door
post. Suddenly the low door was
thrown open. letting in a gust of
hoarse east wind and showers of rain
and sleet, and out of this, like a wreath
of the storm, tall, grave-faced, drench-
ed to the skin, young Green stood in
their midst.
He closed the door and advanced
toward the fire, removing his hat as
he did so.
Jones arose at once. Jones was
always ready for business; the judges
son would pay well, no doubt; he
should have the best in the house.
The other men retained their positions
and regarded the newcomer with no
friendly eyes.

Jones, good-naturedly. KEN right

Smith said, presently, setting down his
mug of cider and wiping off his beard
ed lips with the back OF his hand. "a

Sadler said with a leer at Lodie.

''Et's bout Johnsing. of course

"Thank YOU Green said. you're
Sood-hearted host. Jones. 1t
pleasant to feel one is SO heartily wei
come
He drew up the chair Jones placed
for him, merely noticing the men q.
the simplest manner.
How is Johnsing now, jeage?"
Lodie asked, slowly, He YVES priv.l-
eyed to ask; was he not one of those
who rescued the man"
Unconscious" Greer replied, grave
ly. The doctors dare not leave him
for moment. He is in 2 critical sta.e
and the least movement might prove
fatal.'
Have theys soJ his broke bones,
jedge?" Sadler asked, respectfully.
Yes Green replied, stretching his
wet feet toward the fire and enjoying
its warmth and rest after the dlcaly
day. "They have set his right log
and his arm, but his left leg will have
to be amputated near the hip"
A silence fell over them. A sort of
awed silence it was, at thought of all
it meant. And it was the same man
who stood in their midst but three
days before, powerful of muscle, with
cords like an oak, vowing vengeance
upon this young man who had saved
his life.
THE leg should have been ampu-
tated at once, for it was in a terrible
condition, but the doctors dared not
do it; in his weak state it might prove
fatal Tomorrow they hope to do it.
His daughter knows nothing of his
critical condition, and they wish her
not to know. The waiting and sus-
pense have told much on her already,
and she must have no more excite
ment at present
"An' he's goin' ter lose his leg?"
Lodie asked, slowly. "Et's goin' ter be
reyther hyard on ther gal as well as
Johnsing, pears ter me. Who'll take

Green replied, quietly, touch of color
in his face to hear these rough men
speaking of these things in regard to
such woman as Dolores Johnson.
But it is doubtful about Johnson
having to be taken care OF many
days"
Mrs. Jones came to the door and
spoke to him. His supper was ready
If he cared to have it then.
AS he arose to obey the summons
Tom Smith asked, gruiIly, 1t might
be out of bravado to hide his real
feelings:
EFF Johnsing dies what bout ther
trial over yander, iedge?"
Green faced him with look the
men never forgot, as he replied,
sharply:
What is mares life to that of
man, Smith? You had best let that
matter drop till this is settled"

Dolores sat up with a dignity CT
bearing that silenced further words
on the woman's lips.
DO you think she said-"does
any one think that ! would leave my
father?"
The nurse laughed softly. with .
touch Of scorn in her voice.
DO you think it would break his
heart, Miss Johnson"
Dolores was too deeply in earnest

afterward the words and tone came
back TO her distinctly.
Il would not leave my father" she
said, solemnly. her large, steadfast
eyes fixed disconcertingly on the quiet
face opposite, II would not leave my
father-neyer-while he lives-not for
any one"
You may change your mind" the
nurse said, lightly, rising to prepare
for the night. She touched the girls
hair softly as Dora could have done,
caressing the stray curls on the
smooth, broad brow pity Ugly.

to the kindly face above her, 81 would

Who'd thought said Jones medi-
tatively, tipping his chair back and
stretching his feet pretty well toward
the smoky mantel. Who'd a-thought
thet big Johnsing wi snews like oak
d ever KEN ter thes?'
1t was more the statement of a fact
than a question: he said it to free his
mind and start the ball of converse
tion rolling. That every one thought
as he did on this subject was matter
of course He looked around on them
approvingly as though to impress
them with the fact that he was with
them there.
"Et's better SO" said Lode, grave
ly, changing his left leg over the
right, ''et's better so than fer him ter
hey run inter hidin'"
A silence fell over them all; each
thought the same; in fact they thought
considerably beyond that, but not one
of them dared say what was in his
mind.
"Reyther unsatisfactory ans'rs they
give us when we went ter ask bout
hem" said big Tom Smith, dissatis-
fiedly, as he pushed the cat from the
hearth with his foot and drew his
chair up nearer the fire.
"Ther jedge's son were thar said
another big, stout man, with mali
cious snort OF laughter "Ther jedge's
son We're thar, an theys were too
big ter speak ter sech common folks

A loud burst of laughter drowned
the sobbiEg of the storm, Lodie alone
sat quite unmoved, staring gravely
into the cracking fire.
Look a-hyar,' he said, slowly,
changing his right leg over the left.
