No one around the frontier town of
LewisburS knew much of DR.. Davy.
lie had come into the locality without
Ostentation, taken up u claim four
miles away and built a sod house, half
above and half below ground. For a
year he had dwelt there alone and had
only come into town once a fortnight
for provisions. He was called doctor
because he was a doctor, though not
seeking to ply his art, and no one was
able TO say just how his title came to
be known. His next neighbOr was a
mile away, and travellers who stopped
at his house for drink of water or to
inquire the way were treated with
scant courtesy. There was considera-
bic gossip about the stranger, and many
people shook their heads and whisper
ed that the officers of the law would
turn up in search of him some fine day,
but after awhile, as nothing was heard
against him, he was put down as a re-
Cluse and left undisturbed.
1t was a year or more after DR.. Da-
vy's appearance that he came to town
one evening TO meet young woman
who stepped off the train from the
east The family resemblance was so
marked that it was agreed by all that
the newcomer was his daughter She
was hurried away as if the father fear
ed to let the townspeople get sight of
her, but 1t had needed only a glance to
show that she was good looking and
about twenty years of age. Her COM
ing revived the gossip, but as she was
not seen in town during the next three
months she was in time forgotten by
all with one exception. That exception
was young Joe Taylor, who had been
made sheriff of the county a year be-
fore and who was being talked of as
candidate for the legislature. He had
only to accept a nomination to be elect
ed, as he was a general favorite with
all. He made it his business while
scouting the country for horse thieves
to call at the Davy cabin, and he was
the first and about the only one to see
the daughter Mollie in her own home
and to be Hospitality received by the
father.
If he had any curiosity to crafty as
an officer of the law he was disap-

pointed. The doctor was free to talk,
but not about himself nor his past. He
was made welcome by the daughter,
but he could not question her as
suspect.
He called three or four times "by
accident" but after that he was a
weekly visitor from choice and invita-
ton. In time he was quite ready to
acknowledge to himself that he was in
love and to hope that his feelings were
reciprocated. He was feeding up his
courage to speak his mind when some
thing happened to make him turn pale
and set his heart to humping. AS
sheriff, he received an official document
by mail one day in which he was COM
manded to arrest one DR.. James Bird
as an embeZZler. 1t was Bird instead
of Davy in the warrant, but the per-
sonal description fitted the man who
was living out on the prairie with his
daughter. His offense had been COM
mitted many years before, but the COM
plainant had kept the warrant alive
and followed the embeZZler's trail like
a bloodhound. The demand was that
he be arrested and securely held until
extraditiOn papers could be secured,
and as even the locality in which he
was in hiding was pointed out the
sheriff realized that he must do his
duty if it broke a womans heart.
An hour after receiving the letter he
was on his way to the doctors place.
All the way out there he was hoping
that the doctor might have been given
hint and fed or, if he had not, then
Ihat he might have indisputable evil
dences of his innocence at hand. His
face betrayed his perturbation of mind
TO the girl the instant he dismounted
At the door She was alone, and as
she stood forth in the June sunshine
and looked up at him she quietly said:
"Mr. Taylor 1 know your errand
here. You have come to arrest my
father on the old charge"
"They-they have sent on this war
rant" stammered joe as he handed it
to her to read. But I'm hoping that

He Obeyed his Daughter
And Felt Much Pleased

"AYOW, papa" said the self made
JIG milliOnaire's beautiful daugh-
ter, when the duke comes to
your Office today to ask you for me
you must be careful wien you speak 10
him to always say your grace Don't
forget. 1t would be a terrible breach
Of etiquette if you shouldn't keep say
ing your grace whenever you speak
to him"
The happy old man promised that he
would not forget and hurried away.
He was busy revising his annual re
port of the B., {. and w. when the
young nobleman arrived.
"Ah, glad to see you, your grace"
said Mr.. Worthwadds. Come right
in. Here, Johnny, bring him a chair
and then git out. "Well your grace,
it's nice weather we're havin'. DO you
smoke, your grace"
Thanks" answered the duke, light
ing a cigarette, IF you don't mind
"Oh, throw that away, your grace,
and have one of these. They cost me
$50 hundred, your grace"
''No, really, prefeh this"
"All right, your grace, but them
things is mighty dangerous, your grace.
Did you want to see me about anything
particular this morning your grace?
Say, you've got black streak on your
face, your grace"
Jaw, this beastly SCOT. l shall repri-
mand my man for failing to notice it.
May l retire for a mOment?"
'Never mind, your grace. Spit on
your handkerchief and rub it off, your
grace. l s'pOse you want to ask me
about my daughter, your grace, Ell:
Well, your grace, I'm ready to talk
business, your grace. Name your price,
your grace
Having agreed upon terms the gen
tlemen parted.
There" said the old man TO himself,
as lie took up his report after the
dukes departure, Il guess I've showed
him that he's gOin' to marry into
family that can go right in among the
nobility and talk as though they'd been
used to that kind of society all their
life."-ChicagO Record-Herald.

Mushrooms.

Mushrooms, even cellar grown ones,
which are everywhere to be had in
large quantities, however good and
genuine they may be, may develop a
violent poison a few hours after they
are picked. They are generally safer,
however, than the wild mushrooms.
The latter, though the genuine article,
will sometimes absorb poison from the
spawn of dangerous fungi which lie
in the ground they grow in and be as
deadly as any tOadstool; in fact,
great many of the deaths reported ev-
cry year as caused by toadstools mis-
taken for mushrooms are caused by
the true mushroom which has absorb
ed poison. Out of a single field one
batch of mushrooms may be excellent
and others not fifty yards away per-
fectly poisonous. Yet there will be no
difference in appearance, and both will
peel and show all the marks of the
genuine article. There is one test
which is generally safe-put silver
spoon among the mushrooms when
they are frying, and if it turns black
reject them; also if they show a yell
low tint round the edges throw them
hway.-London Standard.

BRYAN'S OPINION OF PARKER.

Il have nothing to take back. |
have nothing to withdraw of the
things that l have said against the
methods pursued to advance his
(Parker's) candidacy. 1t was plain
and deliberate attempt to deceive the
party. The New York platform was
vague and meaningless, and purposely
so, because the advocates of Judge
Parker were trying to secure votes
from among the people who would
have opposed his views had they
known them. If he had sent to the
Albany convention the telegram that
he sent to the st. Louis convention he
would have had very few instructed
delegates from the South, and no
possible chance for the nomination.
But he and his managers adroitly
and purposely concealed his position
until the delegates had been corralled
and the nomination assured. Then
his friends attempted to secure a
gold plank, which was overwhelm-
ingly defeated in the committee.
After the party had reioiced over
the harmony secured by the omission
of the question, and after he had
secured the nomination. he injected
his views upon the subject at a time
when he could not be taken from the
ticket without great decentralization.
The nomination GCGS secured, there
fore, by crooked and indefenSibze
Methods"

Planning Trips by carriage.-What clothes

To thoroly enjoy driving trip, the
toilet must be carefully planned for mani
fold reasons, and especially when long
trip is contemplated, with nightly stops
en- route and a visit at the journeys end.
AS each guest is to send luggage ahead,
be particular to ascertain the exact hour
when the luggage must be at a point
named for checking. Don take needless
articles nor a trunk larger than is abso-
lutely necessary, for it is often hard for
your hostess to find room in which to stow
these articles away, even for brief
stay. In your suitcase, which will be car
ried with you, put the needful toilet arti-
cles, and don't forget the brushes for
clothes and shoes, the smalling salts and a
small bottle of diluted spirits of ammonia
which may be needed to allay the pain of
insect bites; a jar Of cold cream, fresh
shirtwaist, plenty of stocks and handker-
chiefs, needles, thread and a few buttons.
You can then make a comfortable toilet

physicians or others. However, by it's
aid some exceptionally difficult cases
have been mastered, and it is prob

in the future than it ever has been.
