TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Keeping Right On, In Spite Of Diff

Characteristics.

And what are you going to do now?'
asked a friend Of a man whose store
had just been consumed by fire, and
only a part Of it's contents saved. They
were looking at the smoldering ruins
when the question was asked.
"Oh, I've rented some rooms up the
street, and my goods, what are left
of them, are being moved in now. I'm
going to open up there, and keep right
on until ] am able to rebuild"
1t was the same reply, brave and I'M
dismayed, that whole cities have given

ter. but the city could give 1t only as
the stricken individuals gave 1t one by
one. 1t is the American answer.

spirit Of keeping right on" in the face

The incident did not end here. In
| spired by his zeal to prove the wisdom
Of his regimen, and perhaps spurred on
| by some tenderer motive, Mr.. Yost stuck
to his wheat and nuts and waxed fat
and healthy. His indigestion was long
since 8 thing of the past, and he slept
perfectly.
/ Miss Lallie looked on amused at first,
but gradually gaining in conviction.
She kept for time to her regular food,
but eventually found that her health was
not nearly so good as that of Yost
Several months passed. Yost contin-
ued to live on his Is cents dag and gave
such convincing proof of his system
that she finally capitulated. Then an
agreement was reached that if one could
live on Is cents a day, there was no rea-
son why two couldn't survive and be
happy on 80 cents.
So they married. His Is cent regimen
won her, and she is glad 1t did, because
not only are they healthy and happy,
but the greatest part of their income is
left for the purchase of other things
than food.
Mr.. Yost has this to say for the sys-
tenn by which he won his bride:
Our breakfast consists of coarse
ground wheat, served with cream, dates,
raisins, apples, fresh fruit in season.
and entire wheat bread. For lunch we
have the whole wheat bread, apples,
dates, blanched almonds, and other nuts.
Apple sauce, wheat mullins and wheat
food figure in our supper. We never
grow tired of this diet, for it is health
full and satisfying.
'Tf folks could only be sensible, thou
sands Of dollars that are used in tor
turing the stomach could be put to bet
ter use. Variety is the spice of life in
food. II people would use the whole
wheat bread, nothing would be lost In
vitality. and they would not need meat.
| This diet, together with carefully
distilled water, costs but Is cents day,
yet In health giving properties IL is
worth hundred times that amount"

He takes naturally to water, YEA

He had an encounter with a hen with

1t was amusing to see him recently on
his way home, make a detour into q
vacant lot because he met a large
rooster standing On the sidewalk. but
he cutely pretended that he went out
OF his way to Investigate something.
He was the central figure In an ex-
citing and thrilling scene In the sprina
OF 1902. during the freshet when the
Connecticut river was overlooking tn
banks and was full of floating ice. He
had been amusing himself and a large
crowd by swimming after sticks
thrown in the river and had gotten on
to large cake of ice and was grad

him with pole. but in vain.

Trixie heard Mr.. Madsen's voice in tia
roar of the dam and the crash OF fee
against the buildings
But the dog after awhile plunged
into the water and swan toward an
other large cake of ice. After several
failures he succeeded in boarding Il
and then he made several successful
jumps from one cake to another.
Finally he was saved.
A great cheer went up from the
spectators as he gained shore and made
a bee-line for home. He seemed so
excited by fear that he did not notice
anyone, not even his master
His greatest sport is to fetch a stone,
if he can find anybody to throw 1t for
him, and he very rarely fails to find
the Identical stone.

Starting merely as a medical precau-

new style of eating, and discovered that
not only had it cured his indigestion,

CHAPTER XVI.

The woman who leaned from the
upper window of the wing of the Brook
IN residence that June night in 1862
was the ever-cautious mother scanning
the outward route chosen for her son,
who at that moment was in his room
concluding his arrangements for per-
ilous enterprise.
The time ad arrived when Raymond
Holbin was to risk his future upon one
bold stroke. If he failed, he was no
worse off than at the moment, unless,
indeed, he should be captured. With
the Brookin fortune dissipated by war,
Richmond presented but few attrac-
lions for him. If he succeeded in all
that his busy mind had planned, life
held for him Frances, revenge and
wealth. The cause for hesitancy lay
in the possibility of detention and dis
coVsry; for although the papers which
De so highly valued were, as he sup
posed, unintelligible to any mind other
than his own, he was a confederate Of

In his room that night may be imag-

thought of Louise, who with bogus dis
patches in her saddle pockets and false

that distant road. Holbin had actually
ridden nearly to the point with her;

waited when she left him until the
