told herself, in excuse for her I'M
friendly feeling, but the girl herself,
buried in other thoughts, believed it
was from the kindness of her heart
that she talked to her so often during
the long evenings of the life outside
of the quiet settlement and of the man
ners she would there be expected to
copy, and she accepted in silence the
many words of advice as to her lack
of pride in allowing young Green to
see so clearly her feelings toward him,
and the cautioning uttered with
kindly smile or soft touch on her arm
against allowing herself to be so in
fuenced by almost an utter stranger
who was kind to her only out OF pity,
and who could never care for her
other than as the merest acquaintance
she, the daughter of the blacksmith
who was waited for to prove the malice
in the tanning of his mare.
The woman knew well the stories
adrift in the settlement that had
somehow come to her she scarcely
knew how herself, and of the girls
dread of what might follow the prov
ing of the case waiting in the town
for her fathers presence. That the
girl had never done her harm to cause
this feeling Of hatred she would not
believe. Had she not won Dora's heart
in fashion she could never do? Could
she accept this unmurmuringly? Was
there nothing she could do to hurt TIC
girl in Doras eyes? And if that were
impossible-and she soon learned that
it was-was it impossible for her to
wound the girl herself in every way
conceivable to narrow mind.

The Teacher Won.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2.-For over two
wears two of the best physicians in
this part Of the State have been treat
ing Mr.. E. j. Thompson, a popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his
mind to try new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
"They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. l took in all about
ten boxes. l will always praise Dodd's
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people, and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr.. Thompson, says it is durable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case of Kidney
Trouble.

One At a Time.

A fond father was giving advice to
his young son the other day. Among
other things he said: IF you try to
do more than one thing at a time
YOU can't do anything we'll"
"Oh, yes, can" said the young
hopeful. 1--WE tried. did three
things the other day, all at one time,
and did 'em all we'll"
How was that?" asked the father

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE DARK.
German Professor Says Light Is Not
Needed for Making Pictures.

German Professor Says Light Is Not
Needed for Making Pictures.
The light is not needed for the
printing of photographs is a discov-
cry which has been made by DR.. Will
helm Oswald, professor OF chemistry in
the University of Leipsic. He produces
the required changes in the sensitized
paper by the use of silver on mega
tives treated with a solution of per-
oxide of hydrogen. The presence of
silver causes the elements of the solu-
ton to react against each other. In
a very short time in those places
where there is silver in the negative
the solution will disappear; in the
other spots remain. This invisible pic
ture is then transferred to gelatine
paper and finally developed by iron
sulphate in solution. Gallo acid is
then applied and the result is a genu-
inc ink picture. DR.. Oswald declares
that in this method the sensitiZed
paper will keep indefinitely and the
silver can be used over any number of
times. He says the process is far
cheaper and quicker than any now in
use, besides requiring no light. By it
any design or drawing can be quickly
copied.

LIKED HIS CHIP"
Not Whisky, but a Coffee Topper.

Give coffee half a chance and with

says business man of Brooklyn, N.
Y, Il was as constant a coffee drink
er as it was possible to be, indeed, my
craving for coffee was equal to that
of a drunkard for his regular nip
and the effect of the coffee drug upon
my system was indeed deplorable.
"My skin lacked it's natural color,
my features were pinched and my
nevers were shattered to such an ex-
tent as to render me very irritable. l
also suffered from palpitation of the
heart.
1T was while in this condition read
an article about Postum Food Coffee
and concluded to try it. 1t was not
long before Postum had entirely de-
stroyed my raging passion for coffee
and in a short time l had entirely
given up coffee for delicious Postum.
"The change that followed was so
extraordinary / am unable to describe
it. Suffice II to say, however. that
all my troubles have disappeared. l
am my original happy self again and
on the whole the soothing and pleas

loud in its praise as l am" Name fur

The Ubiquitous Mosquito.

The mosquito, which injects yellow
fever with it's proboscis, bites by day
as well as by hight. and is called the
day or striped mosquito. 1t is found
chiefly in cities, where it breeds in
any chance receptacle of standing
water. The eggs are laid in standing
water, and although the receptacle
may dry up the eggs do not desiccate,
but will hatch as soon as it again con-
tains water.

CHAPTER XIX.
Times Developments.

Johnson slowly recovered; the days
passed, and the weeks, while he lin
gered weak and complaining. Dolores
presence annoyed him, and drove him
to fits of temper, until Dr. Dunwiddie
advised her to remain away from him
as much as possible.
DR.. Dunwiddie regularly drove over
to see Johnson once a week, and Mrs.
Allen remained in the low, implanted
house in the miost of its desolate gar
den, filling the rooms with her pres
ence, but daily growing more hardened
toward the quiet girl who was winning
Dora's affection away from her, she

with silence is to be alone with God;
but think he is somehow nearer IN
the hearts of his humanity. You have
not even church here, Dolores. why,
what do you do with no church, nor
schools, nor anything?"
And Dolores, driven at last to speak,
asked mechanically: "Why should we
have a church, and what is a church"

DR.. Dunwiddie meanwhile went out
70 the group in the sunny doorway.
His grave. dark face was full Of kind
ness as he bent over the frail girl,
and spoke to Mrs. Allen.
"She must lie down at once" he said.

Commendahls Road Work.

The citizens Of Copgsree and Sandy
Run sections deserve credit for the
OK 'ellent work put on the State road
through Hucksbss swamp. They
display ed the right kind of public
spirit in going into their pocket books,
experimenting the amount given by
the County Commissioners to put
this piece of road in such fine travel
ing condition. Mr.. Ed. Gardner was
the overseer and certainly displayed
good judgment. Let other sections
follow this patriotic example, at least
until We can have the faulty road law,
now in vogue, amended so we can
have decent roads. Lexington is be-
hind her sister counties and she must
do better in tie way of roads.

to fill such a position; and in the
second place Lexington county has
never been greedy in asking too
much for her sons and with equal
ability and fitness their claims for

sideration at the hands of the mem.

confident however, that if Hon. John
Bell Towill does make The race be

standard those who stand for a pure
