The Maxine of a Man.

Edward Cummings in THE Coward" in
March McClure's: AS the fire slackened
he felt the blood in his head pounding
heavily. He was frightened about as
much as he could be.
And then there came an utterly new
sensation. 1t was like the burning that
comes in the face and limbs of one COM
ing In from the cold to a snug fire. 1t was
reaction-it was anger! He remembered
the great white bloody face of Upshaw-
his colonel, who was kind to him-and
the things the major said, and the gen.
erals praise. The new emotion dominated
everything else.
And he found a thing to do. His pock-
cts and cartridge box were full. He had
not fired a shot. He unslung his carbine.
A moment later it banged under the
laurels. The sergeant IN charge Of the
nearest piece jerked back, rested for a
moment with his hand upon the escabel,
and sank.
Peter drew back to load. There is
something steadying in charging a muz-
z~le-loading rifle. Peter began to feel cool
as he bit his cartridge and rammed home
the balls. He began to please himself
with the fancy that these smoky can
noneers were in reality but large squir-
rels. 1t served his aim, and he averaged
a man for every two or three shots. He
had no idea how many there were, or
what reserve they had, but he argued
that 1t would be a good thing to shoot as
any as he could. He was fired at re-
peatedly. He did not care. The Peter
Dorgan who collapsed at the wailing of
the bullets was another person. In anger
and incandescent hatred he had passed
some strange climacteric; the latent brave
blood at last was stirred-at last! The
nearest piece was raine upon him.; he
rolled under the rock, and there was a
conclusion that made his nose bleed. 1t
was a fatal mistake. Surely Destiny, the
great Alchemist, was watching narrowly
his darling experiment-the making Of a

Women Gamblers.

New York Tribune: People who hav
made the matter a study contend that
when the ge~t-rich-quick microbe attacks
women 1t is not easily exteTminated or
made harmless. The phantom pictures
which rise and fall with the click of the
ticker fascinate them, and they play the
game Of chance with the recklessness Of
veteran gamblers. Hundreds of women
give their orders clandestinely, and the
fact that they have an interest in the
stock market, that their daily examination
OF the market report is prompted by any
thing beyond a desire to be informed, is
not known TO any one saw their brokers'.
These are good customers for brokers'.
- sigh over a statement showing a bal
ance on the wrong side, a vow never to
do so any more" or an order given lust
to get even is the usual sequence.
There is another class of women stock
gamblers in which the bad loser is largely
represented. This class supports bucket
shops In the residence parts of the city,
like the one which was raided a few days
ago. When these women win they are
happy, but when fortune frowns on them
they are "horrid." They want their money
back from the bucket shop proprietors.
They cry, scold and finally threaten to
tell on the mean things" who took their
margins. In order to shield themselves the
threat is not often carried into execution,
and the bucket shop continues to do bust
ness at the old stand, taking money from
the women who succumb to the tempta-
tons of the tape. 1t is refreshing to know
that once in a while a woman gets so
thoroughly angry because OF her losses
that she does her share toward breaking
IN the bucket shop business. She would
never do such q thing IL her speculations
were su~ccessful-hence all good citizens
should rejoice when she loses.

a Dozen Country EGGS.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: She was
an energetic lady whose adage is save
the pennies and the dollars will take care
of themselves" Not long ago she decided
that hard boiled eggs would be a pleas
ant diversion from meat for a light sup
per, and promptly bought a dozen best
eggs from the corner grocery. She gave
the proper directions to the maid and
went out on the stoop, happy In the con-
seriousness that the supper was planned
for one day at least. But her attention
was soon attracted by a huckester's wag-
on in which was a huge box Of eggs.
How much?" she asked, and was as
tonished at the reply, rs cents-and
try eggs, at that"
Being quick to act where money mat
tiers were concerned, she bought a dozen
eggs at IS cents, and delivering them TO
the maid, instructed that the other be
carefully put back in the same paper bag
in which they had come and taken over to
the grocery. And tell them, please, to
give you back 20 cents she added,
sweetly.
However, 1t was scarcely more than an
hour later that the grocery man came
around himself and rang the front door
bell viciously.
well ma'am," he said, there are your
eggs"
Blu 1 sent them back" che said.
but I can't take them eggs back" he
said d~oggedly. "When hat girl o. yourn
brung them eggs back 1 seq to myself,
all right, I'll a X them eggs back out
o. consideration to Mrs. Blank an i puts
them on the shelf just as they was, and
when a girl round the corner comes in
and says she wants a dozen best eggs,
to make a cake, / hands 'em to her. Well,
ma'am, ten minutes later she comes back
and says she'd like to know what I mean
by selling her them kind O. eggs-when
she wants her eggs boiled, she'll boil 'em
herself-and when she wants EN- raw
she'll buy 'em somewhere else"
Mrs. Blank looked blank. "Boiled?'
she murmured.
Eyes, ma'am. hard boiled. I opened
them eggs n every one o. EN- was
boiled hard as you head. An that was a
new customer I just got, ma'am."
Mrs. Blank produced her pocketbook.
''Of course" she said, IN take the
eggs,' and she handed him 20 cents.
but them eggs is worth more than 20
cents now" answered the imperturbable
grocer. THE eggs Is boiled now, and l
ought TO charge real delicaessen prices.
Then, too, l lost a customer cause o.
them eggs. / think them eggs is worth
SO cents, but I'll give 'em to you for 30"
Mrs. Blank sighed as she produced the
extra 10 cents. After all, 1t Is not always
the better part OF wisdom to be too eco
nomical, she thought.

This Is

Manhattan, Kan, March 14.-One or
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. Is that Of the
three-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Jonas
Brubaker, Of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her. she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
Of spinal meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
~ through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
1--WE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and after she had taken
about three and a half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she Is well as any
child, running and playing as II moth
Ing had ever been the matter with her.
The doctors said she was beyond the
reach Of medicine. Dodd's Kidney
Pills certainly saved our little girls
life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage Of B~right's Disease that
we thought nothing could save her"

BE TRIED.
Mrs. Dye, Charged With Murder, Freed
by Governor Cummins' Decision.


Des Moines, Ia, March 11.-At 10
o'clock today Mrs. Sherman Dye
walked forth from the county Jail at
Boone a free woman The sheriff who
had come from South Dakota With q
requisition warrant, charging her with
having murdered Rena Nelson OF
Pierre by sending poisoned candy
through the mail, had departed for
Pierre on an earlier train, and all eff
forts to prosecute Mrs. Dye had been
abandoned. Accordingly, when her APP
plication for a writ of habeas corpus
came up for hearing before Judge Whit
aker at 10 o'clock, there was nothing
for him to do but to release her. This
situation resulted from Governor Cum
Minis ruling that she could be tried for
murder nowhere but In South Dakota,
and hat on the other hand there Is no
law which permitted him to send n to
another state for trial unless that per-
son has committed q crime in that state
and then fled to Iowa. Federal author
tiles are stated to be contemplating
prosecution Of Mrs. Dye for improper
use Of the mails. She does not deny
having written Miss Nelson, but claims
that the letter that cache Miss Mel
son at the time the candy arrived was
not from her. Report la 1t that 1t was
from Mrs. Biggs, Mrs. Dyes aunt Mrs.
Riggs declines to discuss the matter.

men, the result would be equally fatal
to me. A man must think quickly un-
der such straits. and I was sorely put
to II for some device. No strategem
would be too base to use against such
a villain, for he would not hesitate to
knife me in the back.
"Broussard, let us understand each
other here n now. You know me.
I am Placide de Mouret," removing my
mask n looking him sternly in the
eye.
Great God, de Mouret!"
THE same. / am your master at the
swords, and o know It. Now turn
out those papers" had been quietly
drawing my blade during this speech,
as the dazed man tried to collect his
senses, SO 1 was ready while he still
stood ~unprepared.
Throw up your hands"
He mechanically obeyed; the dis.
covery of his villainy had completely
unnamed him.
Now unbuckle your belt, and drop
1t to the ground" He did as he was
bid.
Kick 1t across the floor" The
weapon was tossed out of his reach.
1 walked up closer to him, and forced
him to loose his o a that 1 might find
the papers, and was rewarded by the
discovery of a packet, much similar to
that dropped by Ward. 1t was sealed
In such a manner 1t could not be
opened, and bore no address. l re-
moved the dagger from his hip, and
having, as l thought, completely dis
armed him, felt no further uneasiness.
Ihe man was thoroughly cowed, and
never once raised his eyes to mine.
Verify treason doth rob the stoutest
heart Of half it's courage.
Now do as 1 bid you, and l will keep
my promise to let you go. And mind
that you make not the slightest sound
which may attract the soldiers"
All, you fear the soldiers too?" he
asked, vaguely trying to puzzle u
why L should be afraid Of those in
whose service / was.
1t Is not our purpose to talk. I
simply want the credit myself, and do
not want TO share it with those fell
lows out there. We must work to
leaVe this place at once. Do you stand
where you are"
l gathered up the scattered
and piled them all in one corner,
tarthest from h door, where l now
proposed to set about getting free.
with the fearful blight of uncovered
treason in his soul, Broussard obeyed
me crlngingly as a servant and worked
as hard, for his safety lay in mine. We
went first to the door by which we en-
tered, ana after q tedious eXamina-
ton failed to find any means by which
1t could be opened or broken down. A
stout latch, of some pattern we could
not tell, held It fast from the outside.
There was no catch or fastening Of
any sort within. The a~ge-hardened
cak, studded as It was with heavily
wrought nails, forbade the plan Of cut
ting through. This would require days
and days Of patient labor, and l was
already faint from lack of food and
the exhaustion of the night. Plainly
the room was intended for q prison,
and as such it served we'll its purpose.
Baffed and disheartened l turned my
thought to the window. 1t looked out
upon the street; this was so much in
my favor. The irons that guarded it
were desc set, bending out toward the
street in the shape of a bow. / judged
this vas in order that archers sta
toned there might shoot the more
easily into the street in times Of siege.

THIN DIET.
No Nourishment In II.

It's not easy to keep up when COFFEE
has so ruined the stomach that food
won't digest.
A Mo. woman says: Il had been an
invalid for two years from stomach
trouble caused by coffee, got so bad I
couldn't digest food and for quite a
while l lived on milk and lime water
nothing but that-a glass Of milk and
lime water six times a day. In this
way 1 managed to live, but OF curse
did not gain.
ut was about 5 months ago I began
using Postum Food Coffee; I did not
need the milk and lime water after
that, for l gained rapidly and can now
eat q good meal and drink from l to 3
cups Of Postum each meal and feel
fine.
Il would not 60 back to coffee for
any reasonable pay. I like Postum bet
ter than coffee now and make Postum
by directions on box and it is just fine;
never found a better way to make it
than on box. Now this is all true and
you can easily prove it," Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Postum is a brew from field grains
with all the nourishment left in. 1t
makes red blood and rebuilds particu-

was a day of mourning In this city for the
majority of residents, who gathered at
the Baptist church to pay respects to one
OF the noblest women who has ever beer
taken by death from Clay county, Mrs.

schools took a vacation, the teachers at
tending in a body, as did also members OF

woman has been identified with Vermil-

Its history. >
