'Why-why," gasped the discomfit-

But the woman was past him and
inside, angrily slamming the door and
locking it.
Luther rose, dazed and over
whelmed. Slowly he walked across the
road, climbed the fence ana trod on
through the high, wet gra-5, ablivious
to the fact that he was wearing his
new shoes.
The glamor of wealth nad departed
from him. He was no longer the pros
porous, envied heir of Uncle Bildad,
the man upon whom fortune had so
richly smiled.
He was only the country boy who
had thought every night Tor two years
of Myrtle Gillett-every night until
that hateful one when his uncls died,
and his head had been turned.
"Myrtle-why, of course, there could
be no other-never has been. without
her"
Luther groaned and stumbled on,
hating himself and cursing.
Surely there was no reason for
breaking out like that, not even giving
him chance to explain Didn't she

Luther plunged wildly about, feeling
for firmer ground and becoming more

The frightened cry pealed out in
the gloom. Going down, down. Now

Pay of Turkish Ministers.

A Turkish Ministerial portfolio is a
sort of gold-mine to the holder. 1t is
not the Vizier, however, who holds the
richest claim, though his salary is
$4,000 a year, which is also that of
the War Minister. The plum" of
Turkish officials is the Admiralty.
which is worth $4,000 a year, and
the present holder is stated to have
amassed a fortune of s12,OOO.OOO.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has
$4,000, and finance comes next with
a thousand lower, financial ability be-
ing apparently esteemed in inverse
ratio to the need for it. The lowest
salary is that of the Minister of Mines,
though it is rather higher than that
of the Premier of Great Britain. The
sum is $27.S00.

One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh inhames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucous This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces

Her New Vocabulary.

She possessed a mind discerning,
That was stored and crammed wi
learning.
And her thoughts, forever burning,
She could suitably express
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded;
1 was really quite astounded
As l listened, l confess.
1t was rather an infiiction,
All this verbal unrestriction,
But her elegance of dietion,
Each precise and polished phrase,
And the beautiful selection
OF the words and their connection
And her most correct infection
They were quite beyond all praise.
But l saw her very lately.
And she did not talk ornately;
All that language suave and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying ''Bessums diddumsl
Where he bad old pin got hiddums,
In his muzzer's p'cious kiddums,"
To the baby in her lap.

His Lucky" Penny

Heads, ask her; tails, l don't"
Luther fiipEed his old penny in the
air and caught it deftly in it's down
ward fight. HI. gazed at his closed
fist in some trepldation, then opened
it cautiously.
Gosh! it's heads" he cried. Il
was hoping it might be tails"
But the die was cast 1t was Luth-
er's habit thus to leave matters of
moment to the decision of his lucky
penny.
He thrust the coin in his pocket and
went on brushing his hair.
Heads" he whispered, gloomily.

The prospects of Luther Chubb-
financial, not matrimonial--were good.
Had not Uncle Bildad considerably, If
Unexpectedly, died and left him the
farm?
While Bildad Chubb had lived and
Luther lived with him in the rather
ambiguous relation of favorite nephew
and hardest-worked hired man, the
charms of Myrtle Gillet had seemed an
all-sufficient desideratum for future
hopes in Luther's view of eventful
matrimony.
Miss Gillett was plump and pos
sessed of some facial beauty, together
with characteristics of independence
and hustling ability. And she fav-
ored Luther.
But with the accession of worldly
resources came hesitation on the part
of Luther, and from Myrtle letter of
most sympathetic coincidence and un-
mistakable personal interest.
Luther had involved himself by no
proposition. Undoubtedly, he could do
better Still people expected it. His
attentions had been regular, If rot
serious, and, after all, it would pain
him to lose Myrtle. She had admir-
ers.
Luther's ideas, which had scared
temporarily above the Gillett connec-
ton, came down with rapidity. He
guessed there was no other way. His
lucky penny had settled it.
He spatted his hair viciously and
prepared to set out for Gillett's, a mile
down the road.
The sun was behind the hills when
he tramped up the grass-grown path
and beheld Myrtle seated in the wide
porch-a fair picture in her white
dress, with the fading light softening
her strong features.

ANNIVERSARY OF DISCOVERY
OF SPlRITUALiSM Celebrated
Exercises Conducted Under the AUS
pieces of the st. Louis Pro-
gressive Union.

brated the fifty-fifth anniversary of the dis
covery of modern Spiritualism at its head

afternoon The rooms were elaborateiy dec
GRATED with yellow and white, the coIors
of the union.
Doctor c. TucAett 'le'iverei an address
upon What Has Spiritualism Done for HUI
manity in Fffty-five Years." He said the
most potent argument in favor of Spirit
uaiisrn was the fact that 1t had risen from
belief that excited only ridicuie fifty years
ago to a firmly established religion DO
fessed by thousands throughout the tCyI-
try.
He claimed that Soirtuslism had htrT-
allied thought: that it had taken the fire
from hell' and had given hope and COM
fort to thousands of baraavei anc Gesp1.r-
ing persons. The speaker said that II has
taught children to grow up secure II he
belief of future life, and thai Will they
were on earth their actions were guarded
by angels
'Spiritualism does no. convert persons ,
he said. 1T rather chances their thought
by giving them a larger scope and a be;;er
insight into the mysteries of life end death -
Professor NJ. Malmene and Doctor Cald-
well were among those whose names ap-
peared upon the programme. Songs and H.
strumental numbers were rendered by Miss
