know the secret of your life, a secret
which can crush you forever, even invah-
date your marriage"
What do you meanY
Sign this paper, or l inform your
husband that your mother was a slave"
Like a fash Of lurid lightning all that
had been incomprehensible to her In her
fathers behavior burst upon the unhap-
py girl; his nervousness, his strange de-
sire to marry her to Oscar Couramont,
his wild entreaty for her to believe no
evil gossip of her dead mother-all, all
came back to her in that dreadful mo-
ment with the overwhelming force Of a
conviction. Yet even then she would
not believe 1t.
With hands cramped like the talons of
bird of prey, she sprang at her tormen-
tor, uttering shrek after shrlek Of rage,
horror and dismay.
"It Is lie, lie, a lie" she painted
"out Of my sight! You-you-I-"
She staggered, beat the air for a mo-
ment with her arms, then with 4 low
moan Of fathomless agony, fell, face
downwards, with dull crash, like one
stricken with death.
Too late Oscar Couramont discovered
that he had over-reached himself. Syl-
phide was now incapable Of signing the
instrument which would make a wealthy
man Of him; besides, her cries had arous-
ed the household, hurrying feet were
mounting the stairs already they were
knocking at the door, and mans voice
in excited accents was calling upon her
to open. In less than half minute the
barrier would be broken DOWN.
Snatching up his hat and revolver,
Couramont sprang to the window.

fear" he hissed, menacingly; 1--WE shall
meet again, when my grip upon you hall

FOR new BALL PARK
Work Will BE Commenced Next Mon
day-Open July "a.

If the plans instituted by the direc-
tors of the Topeka Ball Park associa-
ton at their meeting Friday night ma
terialize, work will be commenced on
the new park on Monday morning with
the blowing of the Santa Fe whistle.
Enough money is on hand to go ahead
and if the contract can be closed today
and tomorrow, work will commence at
once next week. The park can be put
up in ten days.
Special tickets are being printed for
the initial game which is to be played
on July "a, and for which the admission
will be 80 cents. These tickets will be
put on sale tomorrow. A total number
of 5000 will be printed and it is hoped
that every one of these can be dis
posed of for half a dollar. According
to the Missouri Valley League rules Il
is necessary to pay the visiting team
1215 cents on every admission If the
5000 tickets are sold the Topeka asso-
citation will then realize over 81 500
Baseball fans all over the city will sell
tickets and it is believed that the pro-
ceedS will come close to clearing what
ever debt there may be on the park and
also putting the association into the
clear.
The park will be built on the Dudley
tract on the Vinewood line southeast
of the city. The place has been leased
for a term of five years at a rental of
SIS a season. The grounds are excep-
tionally advantageous. The diamond
will be laid off so that the batting is
done to the northeast. the manner in
which most baseball fields of conse-
quepce in the country are made. Seat
ing capacity for at least 5000 people
will be put up in permanent structures
and temporary provisions will be made
for the opening game if the tickets are
all sold.
The new park will be just five min
utes' ride from the transfer station on
the Vinewood route. The park is right
by the side of the car line and IL will
not be a walk of more than 100 feet be-
tween the car-step and the entrance to
the grandstand. This will be a good
feature and one which the fans can APP
preciate after making the long walk
from the cars to Washburn field.

A THOROUGH SUCCESS
A TRIUMPH WON BY THE TONIC
TREATMENT FOR INDIGESTION.
A Sound acknowledgements the
Stomach to Do Its Proper Work
and Permanent Relief
Follows.

The tonic treatment for indigestion
is having remarkable success in cur
ing obstinate cases of that distressing
malady. 1t is based on the principle
that remedies which digest the food
for the stomach really weaken its
powers through diSuSe, and that the
digestive organs can never do their
work properly until they are strong
strength which they need must be sup
piled through the blood to the muscles
and nerves. The entire system then
aids in the digestive process and re-
covery is rapid and thorough.
A striking illustration of the sound
ness of this principle is given by the
recent cure of Miss May Briggs, of
No. Alma Place, Rochester, n. Y,
perate. "a year ago. says Miss
Briggs, "I was all run down and I
neglected myself in regard to eating.
My stomach got in terrible shape, SO
I could not eat anything but a little
dry toast. I could not keep milk
down.
During the year I had four doc
tors but all failed to help me and I
any better. My friends, too, gave up
all hope for me. L could fairly see
the flesh leave me every day. 1 had
no strength and was very pale, and
could scarcely drag myself around
the house. 1 had great soreness and
fearful cramps in my stomach and
the agony was so great that I could
not sleep at night.
Il made up my mind that 1 would
take no more medicine after that
which the doctor had left me was used
up. In the meantime one of the ad-
vertising books of the DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People was thrown
in at my door. L picked it up, and
read it and decided to try the pills
but without every thinking that they
would help me as they have, because
L had taken so much medicine with
out benefit, and had even been made
worse by a trip to Florida which was
undertaken for my health.
II began to get relief while I was
taking the first box and when 1 had
taken three boxes 1 was like a new
person. My friends began to say, with
surprise, How we'll you are looking
and to ask, What are you taking to
make you look so much better?' DR..
Williams Pink Pills have performed
wonders on me. 1 can eat anything
now. 1 am strong again and entirely
cured. I feel very thankful and 1
hope my testimonial will do some one
else some good These pills are
sold by all druggists throughout the
world.

HOW TO PREVENT FLOODS.
Major Anderson Thinks There Should
Be Concerted Action.

Since the backwater of Soldier
creek and the overflow from the river
have receded, the next question is
naturally as to what will be done to
prevent their recurrence next year.
Secretary 7. ]. Anderson of the
Commercial club suggests that a mass
meeting be held in every county from
Manhattan to the mouth of the river
and that delegates be selected to
meet for the purpose of acting for all
this affected district
Government help" said Major An
derson, will not come until the state
helps itself in the matter. Let each
of the affected districts bear a part
of the expense and then let the state
help out too. We want to get together
to help ourselves in this matter. The
general meeting at Kansas City last
year after the big flood was for Kan
sas City and nobody else. 1t is up to
US to take care of Topeka and all of
the points up and down the river want
to take hold of this thing and we
want to work together"

Kansas Counties Which Haven't
Paid 1903 Taxes.
According to Auditors Books
Over 10000 is Due.
PENALTY FOR FAILURE
Made Very Severe on the County
Treasurer.
Lyon County Claims to Have
Made Payment.

A number of Kansas counties have
never paid anything whatever on
their taxes for 1908, or if they have,
no report of it has been made to the
state auditor. In at least one in
stance the money has been retained
by the county treasurer, according to
the showing made by the quarterly
statements of the county treasurer
What this means is shown by the
fact that every county treasurer is
required by law to pay to the state
treasurer by January 10 and July 10
of each year the money belonging to
the state which was in his hands on
January L and July /. If he fails to
do so within ten days a penalty of 10
per cent of the amount withheld is
added to be forfeited by the county
treasurer: and if he holds the money
for thirty days longer he is guilty of
embezzlement and he forfeits his
office.
The first half of the 1903 taxes
were due to be paid by December 20,
1903. AS a rule much more than half
the taxes are paid by that time, and
soon thereafter the county treaSurers
remit to the state treasurer the states
portion. The auditors books show
at least six counties which have made
no remittances on the taxes due last
January. These counties and the
amounts charged against them for
state for 1Q02 fnII

i barber shop, in which business was practically suspended during the day | There was, it is true, a perfunctory | performance of tonsorlal duties, but | the minds and gaze of the barbers were i elsewhere than upon the faces of their
 customers. The barbers could not sec | from their chars into the room where the consumption of water melons was going on, but Robert Chapman, the porter and footwear illUminatoT, sat most of the day in his lookout chair at tke front and kept the rest Of the at taches of the shop informed as to the progress of events across the street. Whenever MT. Chapman saw one en- tering the water melon restaurant he remarked sorrowfully, "They wont be many melons left by closing up time. " One of the barbers replied that the destruction had been inaugurGted at s o'clock. Tt was four minutes after eight" corrected MT. Lowe, of the first chair. You're off just two min utes," said Mir. Nobles, of the second chair, "the door was opened at just S:0G"
 Continued MT. Nobles, ''The man who got up this here watermelon dinner was trying to head off the Crittenton movement. See that sign, All the wa tcrmelon you can eat for ten cents.' Thatn break a First National Bank. ,"

Lowe in a tone of appre- hension. Seven went in a bunch, said MT. Chapman with tears in his voice.
 There was a period of silence broken at last by MT. Chapman, who said, "There's Nicholson"
 "Again?" shiielled MT. Lowe, his ra- zor in midair, That's seventeen times for him. He must be one of the of ficers of the Crittenton company; l eX- pect he's president. If he aint he's either a mighty kind-hearted man, wanting to help the Crittenon folks or else he's got a powerful appetite for watermelon"
