Mr.. Blame was apparently decided to
see nothing. Any movement In the ohdu.

sign Of yielding or uneasiness, any silent
negative to urge her to an argument,

CHAPTER ZVII,

AS if Mary had not had trouble enough
upon her shoulders already, Il new one
descended upon her. ana she began to
be certain that the house, night after
night, was being watched. and became
assured that the watcher was always the
same person. The first suspicion which
occurred to her came when, on n moon
light night about the middle of July, she
threw open her bedroom window and
looked out upon the deserted road and
the tranquil widespread fields. She had
no light. and the house and its ncighbor
threw their joint shadow on the road be-
fore her and on to the hedge which faced
their doors. Beyond the distinctly mark
ed line of shade upbn the field the moon
light lay In II broad, vap0ry wilderness,
IN which objects, though easily discern
ible, took strange and fantastic shapes.
She had sat at the open window for Il
good five minutes, drawing In Il sad tran
quillity from the moonlight and the ST.
lence, when n dry stick cracked behind
the hedge and drew her startled gaze
to the spot whence the sound proceeded.
Following this came complete silence.
She listened till the wide air made a
singing In her ears like the lingering
echo of the waves which children lind IN
seashells. Hearing no repetition OF the
sound. but suspecting rather than dis
corning an added bulk OF darkness some
where In the shadows, she closed the

eager listeners. but once embarked on
the sea of narrative. he allowed no ship
to cross his bows. II one did he put

CHAPTER XVIII.


Ned Blame stood stock still in the dark
and said nothing.
"How dare you insult me by your char
ity." Mary asked him. She painted with
haste and excitement, and her limbs
were trembling.
Ned. with his hands In his iacket pock-
cts, his shoulders rounded, and his head
dropping II little, made no movement and
answered never n word. In the act of
walking away from her he had paused
at her call of command. and his back
was still half turned toward her. Mary,
who had not yet begun to cool from the
impulse of indignant attack which had
inspired her to rush after him. took n
further step or two and stood before him,
"llow dare you insult me by your
charityI" she asked again. clenching the
cruinpled note in her hand.
Still he said nothing. His figure. dim
ly outlined in the dark as it was, had II
look of dogged impassivity about it which
was discollraging. :.
This came from you." she said, hold
Ing out the crumpied bank note. you
must take it back again"
She held out the note almost tmidly,
and her eyes searched In vain for any
sign of change or relenting in the dog
ged figure before her.
His immobility was exasperating, but
II was not easy to see what ought to be
done in face of 1t. She was more than
half inclined for moment to drop the
note and CO. but that would hardly have
been courteous. 1t was difficult to be
courteous to a man so obstinate. Pos
sibly he might be amenable to reason.
The reason of the position was certainly
wholly on her side. and he could not be
10 stupid as to be blind to 1t. She began
to reason with him.
surely, Mr.. Blame, you must ~ bow
wrong you are in sending this to aas."

The Yankton Gazette gives some
interesting statistics regarding the
ratio of divorces to marriages IN
this country us compared with
some other countries. In England
there is l divorce to 11,600 mar
riages in Germany l to $4,000;
in Canada l to 63, 900; in the Unit
ed States l to 1856. In some of the
states the ratio is disgracefully
large. For instance, in Massa-
chusetts it is l to IS; in Rhode Is
land l to 8; while in the city of
LosAngeles, Cal it is l to 5.
South Dakota is bad enough in this
respect but it can not compare
with the home of the Puritans.

Tendency Of the Tim,es.

The tendency Of medical science
is toward preventive measures,
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. It is
easier and better to prevent than
TO cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one Of the
most dangerous diseases that med
zeal men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza
(grlp), and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases
In which this remedy has been US
ed during the great prevalence Of
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit
confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is
suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing
and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold is con
tracted. 1t always cures. For

The county commissioners held
a special meeting last week Thurs
day at which a large amount OF
business was transacted. Among
other things q deal was made with
the representatives oil the Milwau-
kee railroad company for the con
struction of a steel bridge south Of
Scotland, at the upper end Of tue
new reservoir. When the reser
voir is full the water will back up
across the highway, and the com
pany agrees to put III the bridge.
Another question considered was
the claim for the price of a right
of way for a Eroad running across
the farm of M. d. Gardner neal
Bon Homme, not on a section
line. It seems the road has beer
recognized as a public highway 70,
years and has not been disputed,
and after consulting with Judge
Wicks the claim was rejected.
There are many similar claims
that might be brought in the coun-
ty, and if they were all allowed
there is no telling where the ex-
pense would end. The board also
made an appropriation Of $50 to
help defray the expense of making
