Taken With Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, a member of the
bridge gang working near Littleport,
was taken i'll Thursday night with
cramps and a kind of cholera. His
case was so severe that he had to
have the members of the crew wait
upon him and Mr.. Clifford was called
and consulted. He told them he had
a medicine in the form of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoae
Remedy that he thought would help
him cut, and accordingly several dos
es were administered with the result
that the fellow was able to be around
next day. The incident speaks quite
highly of Mr.. Gifford's medicines

Parker'S speech of acceptance is
the speech of a jurist and finished
scholar. In diction it is a model of
pure English, and the judicial manner
in which the primary principles of
Democratic government are applied
to present issues will make the adj
dress one to be long remembered in
the political history of our country.
1t reads much like the state pa
pers of Jefferson and Madison, pos
sessing a style at once frank and dig
nifed. The tariff, the trust question.
the unwarranted assumption of exec
utive authority. the defensesless &C
ton of Colorado authorities in depor-
ting American citizens, all these are
not only be well received by every
Democrat, but will find response in
the hear of every patriotic citizen.
His emphatic statement of his be-
lief in the gold standard is but a re-
petition of the sentiment OF the ia
nous st. Louis telegram.
The speech will add much to the
popularity of the candidate, and If
his u~tterances from now until Novem-
her are TO be measured by the speech
of acceptance, MI. Parker will prove
a candidate who will grow in strength
as the man becomes better known.

~ hEhE were TWO rOaOS WHICH
led from Fairview Hall to the
P-z.I home of the Wiltons, one by
Nzs=GJ river and the other over the
hills farther inland. Talbot had chosen
the river road and was riding along
with a light heart, forgetful Of his
mother and those tears which indeed
she would not have shown him, and
full of pleasant anticipations as to the
effect of his decision upon Katharine.
As he rode along in the moonlight
his mind, full of that calm repose
which to men when they have
finally arrived at a decision upon some
point which has troubled them, felt
free to range where it would, and nat
urally his thoughts turned toward the
girl he loved. He was getting along In
life, twenty-four his last birthday,
while Katharine was several years his
Junior. 1t was time to settle himself,
and If he must ride away to the wars
1t were well. pleasant at least, to think
that he was leaving at home a wife
over whom he had thrown the protect
ing agis of his name.
Katharine would be much happier
his thoughts dwelt tenderly upon her
and the definite arrangement would be
better than his tacit understanding.
He would speak out that very night,
never doubling the Issue, and get it
lone with. OF course that was all that
was necessary.
When she knew that he was engaged
heart and soul in the cause of the Rev
olution she would be ready to yield
him anything.
So musing the light hearted gentle
nan galloped along. The intervening
distance was soon passed over, and
Talbot found himself entering the IA
miliar stretch of woodland which
marked the beginning of the colonel's
estate. Under the trees and beneath
the high bank of the river the shadows
~deepened. Scarcely any light from the
moon fell on the road. 1t was well
therefore that our cavalier drew rein
and somewhat checked the pace Of his
horse, advancing with some caution
over the familiar yet unseen road, for
5ust as he came opposite the land end
Of the pier which led out to the boat
house the animal stopped with such
suddenness that a less practiced rider
would have suffered a severe fall. The
horse snorted and trembled in terror
and began rearing and backing away
from the spot. Looking down in the
darkness, Talbot could barely discern
Q dark. bulky object lying in the road.
Here. Dick. he called to the groom,

other, a few PAGES back of his master,
and tossing his bride rein toward him,

Lightly leaping to the ground and
stepping up to the object before him.
he bent down and laid his hand upon
it, and then started back in surprise
and horror. ITS a man!' he exclaim-
ed. Dead, yet warm still. Who can
1t beT" The moonlight fell upon the
pebbly beach of the river a little far
Their out. Overcoming his reluctance,
he half lifted, half carried the body
out where the light would fall upon
its face. This face, which was I'M
known to him, was that of a desperate
looking %rufiian, who was dressed in a
soiled and tattered uniform, the coat
Of which was red. The mans hand
tightly clasped a discharged pistol.
He had been shot in the breast. for
where his coat had fallen open might
be seen a dark red stain about a rag
ged hole in his soiled gray shirt. The
bullet had been fired at short range,
too, for there were powder marks all
about his breast Talbot noticed these
things rapidly, his mind working quick
ly.
"Oh, Mars Hil'ry wha-wha's de
mattah? kyarnt hol' desc bosses.
Dey'se sumfin wrong, sho'ly," broke in
the groom, his teeth chattering with
terror.
"Quiet, man! Don't make so much
noise. This is the dead body OF a man.
a soldier. He has beer shot too. Take
the horses back beyond the old tree on
the little bend there. Tie them secure
ly and come back here quickly. Make
no noise. Bring the pistols from your
holsters"
AS the man turned to obey him Tai
bot glanced about in perplexity, and his
eyes fell upon a small sloop rapidly
disappearing down the river under full
sail In the fresh breeze which had
sprung up. She was too far away now
to make out any details in the moon
light, but the sight was somewhat IN
usual and alarming, he scarcely knew
why.
II got dem tied safe, Mars Hil'ryv"
called out the voice Of the boy from
the road.
"All right, Dick. We will leave this
one here and try to find out what's
wrong. You follow me and keep the
pistols ready"
"Yes, mars; / got DEM" The man
was brave enough In the presence of
open danger. 1t was only the spiritual
he feared.
They had scarcely gone ten PAGES
farther toward the path when at the
foot of II they stumbled over another
body.
"Here Is another one What does It
mean2 See who 1t is, Dick"
The groom, mastering his instructive
aversion, bent down obediently and.
lifting the face, peered into it. 1t was
lighter here, and he recognized 1t at
once.
"Hit's Mars Biodgett, de kunnel's
old sojuh man Him got q bullet hole
in de fohaid, sub. Him q daid man
sholy, an heah II his gun by his ham,"
hs said In an eYestruck whisper.

final appeal, and as she made it she
knew that it was useless. The scepter
had departed out of her hand.
He smiled sadly at her, but shook his
head ominously. Mother, do O
know these last fought for Stuart pre-
tenders against the house of Hanover?
George Ill, in your creed, has no right
to the place he holds. Do l not then
follow my ancestors in taking the field
against him?"
"Ah, my child, it is an unworthy sub
terfuge. They did fight for the house
of Stuart, God bless it! 1t was king
against king then, and at least they
fought for royalty, for a King. But
now the house of Stuart is gone. The

Talbot saw Ii all now-the slow and
stealthy approach of the boat from the
little sloop out in the river Qt had dis
appeared round the bend, he noticed),
Blodgetts quiet watch at the foot Of
the path, the approach of the men,
B~lodgetts challenge, the first one shot
dead as he came up, the pistol shot
which missed him, the rush Of the men
at the indomitable old soldier, the near
est one struck down from the blow Of
the dubbed musket of the sturdy old
man. the second pistol shot, which hit
him in the forehead, his fall across the
path. Faithful unto death at the post
Of duty. The little drama was perfect
ly plain to him. But who were these
raiders? Who could they be? And
Katharine?
"Oh, my GOd!" he exclaimed, stung
into quick action at the thought Of a
possible peril to his love. "Come, Dick,
to the house. She may be in danger"
But dis libe one, Mars HiIryf"
"Quick, quick! Leave him. We will
see about him later"
With no further attempt at caution,
they sprang recklessly up the steep
path and, gaining the brow of the hill,
ran at full speed toward the house.
He noticed that there were no lights
In the negro quarters, no sounds of the
merryinaking usually going on there
In the early evening. Through the
open windows on the side of the house
he had a hasty glimpse of the disorder
ed dining room. The great doors of the
hall were open. They were on the
hall. 1t vas empty. He paused a
second. katharine, Katharinep' he
called aloud, a note of fear In his voice,

In the silence which his voice had
broken he heard a weak and feeble
moan, which struck terror into bis
heart.

WARREN ERWIN'S MINSTRELS.
His Show at EIlensburg Last Week
Pronounced Success.

A fair sized house greeted the home
Ministries last Tuesday evening and the
performance proved to have many points
of merit in which the participants did
themselves credit, says the Ellensburg
Capital The choruses were very accept
able and the company was well staged.
The costumes were very neat and the
boys did their hest in them. The pro-
gram was too long and varied to permit
individual mention, but the hearty APP
plause bespoke the appreciation of their
efforts. DR.. Martin made his introduce
tory bow as a violinist and his splendid
work was a delightful feature of the
evening, which deserves more extended
notice.
The club ladies, under whose auspices
the performance was given, realized a
neat sum from it, and they appreciate
the work done by Mr. Erwin in bringing
it to a successful issue.
