The man of to-day, no matter what his
calling, needs a sharp brain and to get
this he needs food that not only gives
muscle and strength, but brain and nerve
power as well.

vance in his business read an article
about food in a religious paper and in
speaking of his experience he said: up
to three years ago l had not been able to
study or use my thinking powers to any
extent. There was something lacking
and I know now that it was due to the
fact that my food was not rebuilding my
brain.
about this time 1 began the use Of
the condensed food Grape-Nuts and the
result has been l can think and plan with
some success. 1t has not only rebuilt my
brain until it is stronger and surer and
more active, but my muscles are also
harder and more firm where they used to

CHAPTER X.
AN ERRAND OF MERCY.

On the third day after my arrival at
Nant-y-Bryn at about II O'Clock of the
morning I was standing at n of the
windows of my uncle's room. The
nrosnect was dreary in the extreme. A
thick. dark mist had settled on the
hills, and an old oak tree forty yards
away was q faint, ghost-llke q
in the dull gray vapor. Inc rain Tell
heavily in straight, u%nbroken lines, ana
the trickling thread of rivulet when
nassed the house had swelled to a fu-
rious yellow flood, whose deep, hollow
note filled the air. So dark was the
day that the room behind me was filled
with the light Of fire and candle, as II
the night had fallen. l turned my head
and found my uncle peering at me over
the top OF the book he held in his
hand. He was regarding me so intent
ly and yet in a kind Of abstraction. that
for a moment he seemed scarcely
aware that our eyes We're meeting.
1 thought he was about to speak, U
he lowered his glance to the page be-
fore him and remained silent. He was
sitting near the fire, a candle at his
elbow, and his usual medley Of volumes
heaped around him. He had inherited
my grandfather's passion for study,
and spent the greater part OF his time
in reading.
continued to gaze upon him, half
idly, half wondering why he was star
ing SO hard at me, and in q moment l
found his eyes rising again. This time
I certainly thought he had something
to say, but no: he looked down again
when he found that I was still regard
tng him. His thin, delicate face shone
pink in the freight, his long, white
hair was like silver, his bright, dark
eves ran from line to line down his
book. and still / stared, and still Won

"A SENATOR'S

Smallpox Marks in kansan's Face
Were a Badge of Honor.
c. r. Snyder. who is writing a history of
Kansas, gives a chapter to Senator Pres
ton y. Plumb, and quotes Joseph Bratton,
one of the Usage pioneers, as saying:
Il fought and licked a man once who
said that Plumb vas a coward. I knew
that he was no coward from a Burlingame
instance with which I was familiar. Along
about the spring OF 1860, when we were
running the hotel. and the stage from
Lawrence to Emporia stopped at our place
for meals, Preston 3. Plumb was on it one
night, and during supper heard talk of
smallpox having broken out here. A man
stopping with 1. B.. Titus came down with
the disease, and as soon as 1T was known
what 1t was he was carried off half a mile
up on the hill to an empty hut and left
there alone to die.
mo one being willing to nurse him,
Plumb, hearing Of the case, resolved to
stop off and so and look after the man,
even at the risk of his own life. He got
George Bratton to fix up a basket of
toast and eatables, take his light and a
roll Of blankets, and show him to the sick
man. Mr.. Bratton did so, going near
enough to help Plumb all he could. Plumb
found out the sick mans condition., and
| cared for him that night. The next morn
ing, learning that Abel Policy had once
had the smallpox, he got him to admit the
/, sick man to his cabin, because it was more
! comfortable. They two cared for the man
the best they knew how until he died.
When all was over Plumb cleaned up,
changed his clothes, and continued his
journey on to Emporia, only to be taken
down with the dreadful disease himself,
and to be carried off to one side and UNI
dergo the forced absence of friends care;
and at last, when he was over the disease,
to be branded with the marks the balance
of his life. That was true courage"
