boards, and along it stood long
benches instead of chairs.
"You will oblige me, captain" said
Buford as they rose from the table, If
you will be so good as to drive Miss
Beauchamp over to the claim shanty
after a while"
Franklin assented to this PROPOSE
ton with such eagerness that he
biushed as he saw how evident had
been his pleasure at this opportunity
for moments speech alone with the
girl who sat so near but yet so unap-
proachable. "Ill be delighted" said
he.
Mary Ellen said nothing. The pink
spot in her cheek was plainly deeper.
1t did not lessen as she stood watch
ing the struggle the two men had in
again hitching to the buggy the wild
: black horse. Seiging the tug with
one hard and the singletree with the
other, Franklin fairly swept the OBJ
durate beast off it's balance as he
forced it to it's place at the pole. His
strength was apparent.
"Are you afraid to ride behind that
horse?" asked he.
81 don't think So" she replied sim
ply, and her uncle helped her in, while
Franklin steadied the team. Yet how
franklin Lated the wild black horse
now! All the way across the prairie
during the short drive to the shanty
the beast gave him plenty to do to
keep it inside the harness, and he
had no time for a single word. The
girl sat silent at his side, looking
straight ahead. At the shanty he
helped her down. Ignorant, he saw
not the tale of bosom heaving, nor
read correctly the story of the pink
IA the cheek He believed rather the
import of face turned away, and of
features set in a mask of repose.
There had as yet been no word.
The claim shanty was indeed in
some need CT repair. One corner of
the roof had fallen in, carrying with it
a portion of the sod wall that made
the Enclosure. and spilling quantity
of earth In the bed customarily occu-
pied by Aunt Lucy when she resided"
nere in company with her mistress in
their innocent process of acquiring
one hundred and sixty acres of land
apiece by means of double dwelling
place.
In order to make the needed repairs
to the roof, it was necessary to lay
up again part of the broken wall,
then to hoist the fallen rafters into
place prior to covering the whole
again with a deep layer of earth.
Franklin, standing upon chair, put
his shoulders under the sagging beams
and lifted them and their load of dis
arranged earth up to the proper level
on the top of the wall, while Buford
built under them with sods II was
no small weight that he upheld. AS
he stood he caught an upturned tell
tale glance, look of sheer feminine
admiration for strength, but of this
he could not be sure, for 1t passed
fieetly as 1t came. He saw only the
look of unconcern and heard only the
conventional word of thanks.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Way of a Maid.


The Halfway House was an oasis in
the desert. To-day it was an oasis
and a battle ground. Franklin watched
Mary Ellen as she passed quietly
about the long, low room, engaged in
household duties which she performed
deftly as any servant. He compared
these rude necessities with the asso-
Citations amid which he knew this girl
had been nurtured, and the thought
gave him nothing but dissatisfaction
and rebellion. Presently he rose, and
excusing himself. went out to join
Buford at the corral.
Come, said the latter, "and I'll
show you around over our improve
ments while we are waitin' for bite

worth anything at all, we ought to
grow into something worth while"
Yes said Franklin, sit will make
you rich" and as they walked about
he pointed out with Western enthusi
asm the merits of the country.
The bite to eat" was in time duly
announced by loud, sonorous note
that arose swelling upon tho air. Aunt
Lucy appeared at the kitchen door,
her fat cheeks distended, blowing
conch as though this were Tidewater
over again.
The long table was spread in the
large room of general assembly, this
room being, as has been mentioned,
e-;cayated from the earth, so that, as
they sat at table, their heads were
perhaps nearly level with the surface
of the ground. The short side walls.

Old MIX and Cream.

As summer is coming and with IL
the conditions that make It difficult to
keep milk for several days, the farm.
ers' wife should use greater precau.
tons to keep the milk and cream
pure when butter Is to be made from
them. One of the great reasons why
farm made butter Is not generally as
good as that made In the creameries
is that farm cream is kept too long
before being churned. A butter
maker OF experience says that the
churning should be done every day
IL the best butter Is to be obtained,
but that every other day will give
fairly good butter. However, we know
that 1t is the common practice on
some OF our farms to churn once a
week both In summer, and winter.
Much OF the cream Is too sour, espe-
cially In summer. when the days are
hot and the facilities for keeping 1t
are not Of the best. Even with ideal
coolers and with Ice 1t would not be
an easy matter to keep cream a week
and have II In good condition for
the making OF butter. The man with
only two or three cows has particu-
larry hard time OF It to make butter
that Is good.
Sometimes cream that is very old
is put into the churn to save 1t. with
the result that the flavor of the whole
Is spoiled. II would have
paid far better to have given the too
sour cream to the pigs or to have
used 1t In some other way. Our but
termakers have found out by long
experience that It is very possible to
have too much acidity in the cream
out OF which butter is to be made.

Mixing the Squeak.

The leader told story about a
wheelbarrow that a boy thought had
a squeaking wheel, then one of the
group of hearers retold the story for
a memory exercise, but got the squeak
in the faucet of vinegar barrel. Yet
the story sounded better to the leader
as told by the nearer because 1t was
enriched by little imaginary explana-

IL The right remedy at the right
time fits a mother for the Or
deal. Motherhood is often looked for
ward to with feelings of great dread by
most women. At such time when
she is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable and
in need of a uterine tOnlc-sOmethlng
which will calm the nervous system
through the special organs, and a
strength builder, she will find Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription just what
is needed. Here is medicine that has
stood the test of a third of century
with approval, in that time it has sold
more largely than any other remedy
put up specially for wOman's weak
nesses. 1t is guaranteed by the propri-
etors not to contain a particle OF alcO-
hol-which could only do harm to a
sensitive system.

coming would take DR.. Pierce's Favor

WHY WOMEN SHOULD CONFIDE
IN A MAN.

1t is much easier for a woman to con-
tide in the average man than in the
average woman. She knows that the
man will respect her condolences and
keep them to himself. He is strong,
has more experience of the world and
can help the woman who needs advice.
Without perfect medical understand
ing there can be no helpful advice,
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons. 1t requires thorough med
ical education to appreciate and under
stand the wOmanly organism. When
woman has ills and pains that she can
not bear when life seems dark for
every woman, she should cOntide her
troubles to physician of standing in
the community, or one who has a ma
tional reputation. Certainly it would
not be the part of wisdom to contide
in an ignorant person without medical
education simply because she was
q aoOman. There is every reason why
she should write to some great special
list, one who has made the diseases of
women a speciality for a third of CEN
fury, like DR.. r. V. Pierce, founder of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, of Buffalo, n. Y. All correspond
ence is held sacredly confidential, and
he gives his advice free and without
charge

He was able to witness the tapping of

SINGLE AND MARRIED WOMEN

very often find that If is repugnant to
their feelings to consult their family

will give the very best advice possible
and without cost. To grow beautiful,
healthy and happy should be the desire
OF every woman. 1t is then possible to
hold husband and make home happy

tobacco market:
Up to January 31st, 1904, there had
been sold on this market four million five
hundred thousand (4,50O,OO0) pounds. For
the same period last year six million Co.
GOOOOO pounds were sold. This season.
sale will amount to six million &C, 900 ,0OO)
pounds or more when all the tobacco is
marketed, as there is much tobacco yet
unnlarketed. The average price paid per
pound this season is cents The aver
age price for last season was IL cent.
Tobacco is as high at this time for the
same grades as it was at any time last
season. since the American Tobacco Com
pany has advanced the price of tobacco,
presumably to induce the farmers to
plant large crop next year, as UP to
this time very few plant beds have been
burned in this section.
Our facilities for handling tobocco are
the very best, and our market is thor
oughly equipped. The warehousemen
here are old and experienced tobacconists
and know how to please the trade. Ok
ford buyers are admittedly among the
best tobacco men in the State. They

average of prices than Oxford This is
record Oxford has long held and of which
she is proud.
AS il well known Granville county is in

duces the finest bright leaf grown in the
