he paused a moment looking first
at Aunt Comfort now wide eyed with
astonishment. then at Angie. even
more so. and then continued:
ITS not bad news I bring you, and
yet not as good as | could wish. YOU
remember the old hermit | told you
about, Angie we'll. he is-he is still
there and quite content and happy, and
improving some. In fact, I found him
more rational, and | left old Cy to
care for him this winter. IT was fixing
up his cabin that has kept me so long
in the woods"
Once more Martin paused. for the
dread secret wouldn't out, and look
of almost terror had come to Angie.
"He is all right" continued poor
Martin again. conscious he was floun-
dering. and feeling his throat grow

And now ensucd n dramatic scene,

with hands clasped and eyes dilated.

she almost screamed.
Martin also arose.

TO tell you That poor old hermit is

For one moment she eazed at Martin
with wide-opcn. terrified eyes, the next
on her knees with her head in Aunt
Comforts lap, sobbinc.
Then came Aunt Comforts heart
burst, and all the years Of her kindly
patient life of love and hope werc con-
dcnsed into few words. For with
hands upraisod and eyes closed she
whispered. 20 God ! thank Thee Tor
this blessed news and all Thy good
ness. o Cod thank Thee And
then she, too, was sobbing.

NO CHANGE NECESSARY.

The Hon. Henry q. Davis candi-
date for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket in his letter OF
acceptance, says: "The times are
propitious for the reinstatement OF
the Democratic party in control OF
the government" You have an
other think coming, Mr. Davis, the
time is not propitious for change
The country was never in a more
prosperous condition than it is to-
dav. Labor strikes are practleally
a thing of the past, the working
men are all busy at good wages
and happy, and were a change
made we might look for repetition
Of the condition of 1892, and a con
seouent stagnation during 1903
which would correspond in meas
IRE with the panic of 1898, because
the Democrats would change th'
existing conditions. But the pros
meets are very remote for the OLE
gentleman to realize his ambitions
yet every true American should Sc
that he casts his vote when tn
time arrives that we may contlhu
the prosperity we have enjoyed &c
the past few years.

more famous every year. The farmers
are coming here from much greater

to sell their produce and purchase their

they need at as low a price and very
often lower than in other towns. They
